And Christs example was that the ENTIRE Word of God was to be followed in principle, not just the new testament. That notion has been "added" by some denominations who follow only certain books of the Bible and disregard others. True Christianity, following the example of Christ, does not teach that.

Thanks again for the Jewish insights. I grew up with Jews and Catholics so I am familiar with both to a certain degree.
The new testament is the old and new combined- the bible.. hence what i ment by that.. The jews follow ONLY the old testament... thank you for the correction I shall change that in my first post..
