The NT is about Jesus. The OT is about why Jesus came into the world.

The OT was the books given to the children of Israel.
The books cover Israel's history, the laws God gave to the children of Israel, prophecy about Israel, about Jesus, and more.

The NT starts with 4 biographies of Jesus, the history of the early church, various letters to different churches instructing them, and a book of end-times prophecy.

That sums things up nicely.

As a new person to Christ and the Pentocost religion, I would suggest that you just read the NT to start off with.

Hi Eviee - I responded to your other post as well about appearance at church.

When reading the NT, I just wanted to suggest that you first pray for God to reveal the Truth to you through His Word. Ask for the Holy Spirit to open your heart and mind. Enjoy!

It does seem like a lot to learn, doesn't it? And running the forums will make you think that you'll have to pursue a degree in Divinity in order to understand all the dogmas and doctrines men and women have created over the course of human existance.

Take heart in this: if you know that Jesus is the Son of God, that He came to earth as a servant and that He died on a cross for you, and you have confessed with your mouth and believed it in your heart, you already know everything you need to know.

Now spend the rest of eternity learning about your best friend!

Pay particular heed to #4

4) DO NOT get your primary information from internet chat rooms or websites that you do not know and explicitly trust. There are a lot of FALSE teachings out there on the web. The Bible warns us, "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves." (Matthew 7:15 NKJV). Anyone can prove ANYTHING by taking Scriptures out of context, or by ignoring other scriptures. This is why it is so important to get yourself into a Bible believing church, and under the care of a local pastor that can answer your questions and guide you.

Allow God to bless you today!
