impossible to realize the height of the moral sense, which includes the New Testament, when viewed in isolation from the Old Testament.Just getting a grasp it, page by page, you can see a long and complicated path of the past, people from the commandments to Moses the commandments of Jesus pronounced by the Sermon on the Mount.
There is no need to consider the two parts of the Bible in terms of their content, as there described the events that took place with different people at different times.And St. John Chrysostom was right, seeing their difference is not in essence and in time.The close relationship in the other - in the community of religious and legal, moral and doctrinal issues.This relationship recognized Jesus when he said that he came to fulfill the law and the prophecies, and not to disturb them.New Testament Christian Church believes in a higher moral sense, but admits that he not only does not abolish the Old Testament moral norms, but deepens, strengthens them.
preaching, Christ called attention to the important principle, determining the relation of man to man.The essence of the main principle which approves new teaching to the old law and the teachings of the prophets, Jesus put it this way: in all, we want people to us coming in, and to do so we must.
motive of punishment for the unjust life also brings together the Old and New Testaments.Both men promised inevitable, but a fair trial in accordance with the measure of love and mercy, which we showed or did not show to each other.These criteria are also fundamental to the old law and the prophets.Love the people, love of God - to those precepts of the New Testament Christ is pointed as the biggest, most important.On identical commandments and the law and the prophets.
However, the Hebrew Bible canon of Israeli includes four sections, consisting of twenty-two books, but the New Testament does not have.But it contains many testimonies of holiness and "divine inspiration" of the Old Testament texts.This is indicated by all four Gospel writers.It is in the Acts of the Apostles, in address to the nation, in the apostolic Epistle.Carefully vchityvayas in the Gospel texts, it is easy to notice that one of the recurrent arguments is the claim "Thus saith the Scriptures."By Scripture we mean it is the Old Testament.If you continue parallel and compare both the canon, it turns out another similarity: The New Testament is also a member of the canonical books (of 27), which consists of four sections.
Given all these important points, and Christian theologians and objective representatives of secular science express a common position: Covenants are not opposites - they are different.The Jews, as we know, do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah.And the New Testament - is the story of his life on earth.It is logical that the Jews do not recognize myself Testament.Why is that?It has been suggested that the reason is in circulation the teachings of Christ to all nations, and not to be Jews.This eliminates God's chosen people of a single nation.Perhaps a controversial statement, but a grain of truth in it still is.
