    The Bible is the christian holy text, so do not pretend it is only the New Testament, nothing wrong with me apart from your continued denial.
    Two simple questions.
    What is the Christian Holy Text. Answer the Bible.
    Does the bible contain both the Old and New testaments. Yes.

    You can rattle it off any way you like.

    The bible is the old and new testaments.
    The old is Jewish
    The new is Christian.

    Good point........ a powerful case can be made that the English language is "legalistic" and many words now in English were borrowed from other languages partly to attempt to be useful tools to form a loophole free sentence, or piece of legislation?!

    Hebrew and Greek are very different languages......... and ancient Judaism and the Jewish scriptures were once understood to have a much broader range of possible meaning.

    I think you may find this writing quite amusing:

    Actually the books of Mathew, Mark, Luke and John are the holy texts of Christians.

    Ephesians 2
    15 by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations.
    Hebrews 8
    13 By calling this covenant "new," he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.
    Romans 10
    4Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.(*)
    Romans 7
    6But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.
    2 Corinthians 3
    13We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from gazing at it while the radiance was fading away. 14But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away.
    Galatians 3 13Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree."
    23Before this faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. 24So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ[h] that we might be justified by faith. 25Now that faith has come, we are no longer under the supervision of the law

    Nobody ever met Jesus,
    Nobody knows if he existed at all, though he probably did, as a human, and not the son of God.

    The source is the new covenant.
    It's written all over it.

    But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away.

    Christian Sacred Texts: The Bible. Christianity combines the Jewish Old Testament with the New Testament to form the Christian Bible, which followers refer to as the Holy Scriptures. There are many noncanonical texts in the Christian religion as well.

    Rabbi Yeshua - Jesus and the original twelve disciples would certainly agree with that statement......

    And they use lots of it.
    song of Solomon is an example.

    But the laws have changed

    This is the point of it.

    Now they turn the other cheek,
    casting the first stone.
    Love thy enemy.
    Stuff like that.

    They are not out killing everyone.
    They don't stone people anymore.
