The Old Testament never mentions Jesus by name so it denies the diety of Christ. Is it worthless?

I don't see how you can call yourself a Christian and deny the worth of the Old Testament.

"The Old Testament never mentions Jesus by name so it denies the diety of Christ. Is it worthless?"

"Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel."
Isaiah 7:14

Jesus is a Greek name. The Old Testament was written in Hebrew. Yours is another wildly assinine assertion that simply illustrates your willful ignorance. Why you persist in your self-delusion is beyond me, but it doesn't speak well of you as an intellectual or a Christian.

"I don't see how you can call yourself a Christian and deny the worth of the Old Testament."

I don't deny the worth of the Old Testament. My salvation is not based on it. If you are claiming yours is, then you really don't understand what it means to be a Christian. Read Romans, Galatians and Ephesians and learn.
