Discussion Questions

What are some reasons one should study the Old Testament?
-
To get to know God and his nature.
To see how we can apply some of the incidents in the Old Testament to our lives in this lifetime.
To find out how it applies to the coming of Jesus to name a few. -
To learn the history of the Christian faith. To learn from mistakes. To study Godly men and women and how they pursued God. To see so many prophecies pointing to Jesus coming.
-
To learn about the history of the Bible also therefore knowing how to understand the New Testament
-
The reason why the Old Testament should be studied is because it is the most fundamental to the life of Christians. The beginning of the Bible is the Old Testament, so of course, you have to read the Old Testament first. You can’t understand the new drug without understanding the Old Testament.
-
Everything in the New Testament has foundation in the Old Testament. Christ is the fulfillment of the law, prophets, and writings of the Old Testament, which is therefore very important to know for Christians.
-
Why would a lack of knowledge of the Old Testament weaken our understanding of the New Testament?
-
A lack of knowledge of the Old Testament would weaken our understanding of the New Testament because the Old Testament lays the foundation that the New Testament rests on. Type is followed by anti-type. Prophesy in the Old is fulfilled in the New.
-
The Old Testament lays the foundation for the New Testament. It explains the history of mankind and creation. It also explains human behavior the need for the coming of Jesus.
-
One of the main reasons for me is that all through the Old Testament prophecies are made and in the New Testament they are fulfilled. Understanding of both are needed for the story to be complete.
-
The lack of knowledge of the Old Testment limits our understand of Jesus and limits our knowledge of history.d
-
The Old Testament is the foundation of the Bible, and without it, our understanding of the New Testament would be weakened. We wouldn’t see God’s earlier relationships with people and the prophecies of Jesus Christ coming to save us.
