Prophecy some for the latter days; some of a better covenant
Fortells the coming of Christ
Why the Messiah was rejected
Reasons for the New Testament
In the Messiah's words
The Comforter or Holy Ghost explained
A better covenant (a direct link to God; Jesus as the intersessor, HG as the teacher and guide, the Word written upon mankinds heart)
Grace
Freely given, paid for, open to all who ask and seek
Warnings
Notes: the New Testament wasn't written or formulated until 60 years after Christ's death, resurrection and ascension but people claim the Old Testament is irrelevant (i.e. "Nailed to the Cross").
The Bible was not canonized until 1611.
Before that some prophecies were still being fulfilled (i.e. destruction of Tyre). Many prophecies still are future. (i.e. restoration of Israel and 2nd Coming).
We are no longer in the dark ages. The Bible is more available to all than it has ever been. The internet connects the world like never before. False prophets and doctrines occur at a ridiculous pace (i.e. Another prophecy from both Testaments).
Yet mankind still persists, our way is better than God's.
Read it for yourself. Use the resources mentioned above. Don't trust anyone's interpretation but the HG's. Devotionals or doctrines that treat the Bible like a bag of trail mix seem wrong (i.e. Isn't that how this started? Hasn't it continued ever since?). From Genesis to Revelations.
Grace, not legalism. The Lord wants a relationship with all and all to be reborn. His offer of salvation is open to all who have eyes to see and ears to hear.
May your journey be fruitful, full of joy, and may you be counted worthy of the Creator's kingdom.
My humble comment pertains to the response to Jayden by Robert regarding Matthew 11:28 posted 11 months ago....... Thanks and Blessings! Robert, you have provided much insight, and it brings a particular question from my pea brain. Who was it to say, or how was it that it was determined that there should be the Old Testament and the New Testament? It's almost as if it is to keep a form of division or divisiveness or maybe just a simple form of visual separation between the teachings of Jews and the teachings of Christians showing where humankind was and where humankind is to be....... to be one with GOD, from the Beginning, through the HIS Gift of Life to us through JESUS CHRIST, The Alpha and The Omega, The Beginning and The Ending as is written in The Book of Revelation 1:8 "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." Personally, I have said to people that it appears to me that life before JESUS was so very, very complicated, and JESUS IS LIFE through a much less complicated WAY, and as it is written in John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." All I can say is JESUS I trust in YOU and only YOU....... Hallelujah! Oh yes, these words are inspired by The HOLY SPIRIT! Praise GOD Almighty! Thanks and Blessings!
The scriptures are the will of God toward man. Yes, He is that He is!
Can we know Him without His word? If this bible were taken away, would we be able to still know Him? I predict a time that even now is, that churches will not be able to keep their doors open unless they use a certain bible! This bible will be determined by the anti Christ. More and more the name of Christ is eliminated in the course of denying the trinity. e.g. B.C. has been replaced by "common era, and before common era". These ideas procured by the docs. of theology ,who, giving us "all the same God", in the hopes of protecting man from Himself!
These works of righteousness are the works of man and not of God! Paul, could not be more direct to the point when he says we are not saved according to works! Mans works of righteousness mean absolutely nothing before God!
God said, I have chosen you! You have not chosen me! Love Him with everything that is in you! all your heart ,soul, and mind! They may try and silence Him, one thing is sure, no one can remove Him from your heart!

Apostacy of the Church
Not to be legalistic
Forgiveness and generosity taught
God wants to be involved in our lives
Different types of prayer
Teaches us how to worship
Man's desire to be stiff necked and rebellious
