The message has always been consistent. Think in terms of progressive fulfillment to the ultimate fulfillment. You might enjoy reading through the OT in the light of the New.Indeed there is much truth I still hope to gain. Life is but a process of gaining understanding. As I said before I think the old testament should be viewed in historical perspective of the people for which it was intended. I say this because I have come to realize that the old testament was once the truth. Athiests love to point at this to claim that Christianity is immoral. And they are so very wrong. And clinging to the old testament justifies their claims. If Christianity is to survive, it must recognize this as I am sure many have. But since Christianity is not unified it is being pulled back and forth and the message becomes harder to understand. Christianity would do better with a more consistent message and in so doing can alter the course of its own destruction. And prophecy should never be used as a cop out on life as is so often being done today.
Don't get me wrong, the OT is difficult to digest until you become an established Christian. Better to begin with the milk of the Word, before you delve into the meat.
