The Truths In The Old Covenant Vs New Covenant Battle

By Eloise Hewitt


The OT and the latest one may come from the same Bible but there are certainly a lot of differences between them. For starters, they do not contain the same words. They can mean the same thing but still they have very varied interpretations of the journey of God and Jesus.

Take for the example the way people should communicate with God. According to most Old Covenant vs New Covenant forums, priests are the outlets of individuals towards the Almighty in the Old Testament while they would have to come to the throne of the Father in the latest one. However, as a Christian, you are absolutely free to choose between these two options.

Now, if you are someone who has memorized the Ten Commandments with all your heart, then you have most probably found them in the former part of the Bible together with the other 603 laws that your forefathers had to pay attention to in the past. These laws guided your ancestors to be more religious and to be humans with great civil and moral sense. As for the new testament, it just contained one rule and that is to love your God and your neighbor.

As for the sacrifices made in these two parts of the Bible, food and animals are being offered in the OT while the NT allows people to simply live the life of a Christian to serve as their sacrifice. They just have to follow everything that Jesus have taught them. They do not need to burn things in the mountain to show the Creator that they have repented for their sins.

As for the festivities in these two portions of the Bible, the Holy Sabbath was being highlighted in the former one while the Supper that Jesus had with his disciples was being honored in the latest testament. The rules on Sabbath Day are simple. You should not perform anything related to what you do for a living and you must not forget to hear mass during that day.

When it comes to the rules on how a certain venue can be considered as a holy place, the people in the new testament are actually more lenient about the regulations. They can hear mass as long as they are among their fellow Christians. People in the OT on the other hand would need a temple or tabernacle in order for them to say their prayers.

In the Old Testament, the High Priest can only be with God on the day of atonement while the latest one has Jesus as the High Priest. This only means that he can be with his Father forever. He is considered as the right hand of the Creator.

In the new portion of the Bible, Christians are said to be the followers of the High Priest while Aaron and his sons had to adhere to the rules of a human High Priest in the former Covenant. In this situation, the people in the NT are actually more blessed compared to the individuals in the OT. That is because they have a personal encounter with the son of God.

In the present time, NT is definitely there. This part of the Bible is for eternity and that includes every living person on Earth. Forefathers have already played their part in the older portion of the Holy book.
