Speaking in this line of thought, I have to voice my concerns over many Christian denominations who pay absolutely no attention to the Old Testament, i.e., the Old Covenant.

How can one fully understand the New without understanding the Old? For example, how can one fully understand The Revelation of St. John without also understanding Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and especially Daniel? Answer: One can not do this. In fact, these three Old Testament books are the precursor to Revelation.

As for me, I take all 66 books of the Bible; the 37 Old Testament books and the 29 New Testament ones. The Valley of the Dry Bones is right before our very eyes.

Amen, and well-put. It was partly for this reason that I majored in OT for my Master's: because Christians are ignorant of 2/3 of God's Word to them. Nor is it hard to see why, in some cases. The un-reformed replacement types makes such a muddle of the predictive section (unless they're about Christ's first coming, or Israel's judgment) that most must figure "Why bother?"
