I was speaking of the NT bringing the Word of Jesus to us all.
The name Jesus was not mentioned in the Old Testament. The Catholic Church also canonized the Old Testament, which the majority of protestants ignore.

"......the Old Testament, which the majority of protestants ignore."

So now you are also an expert on what Protestants read or ignore, huh?

Every Sunday service in the Presbyterian church there is a reading from the Old Testament as well as the New Testament. Both will pertain to the Bible lesson which is the topic of the sermon (or teaching.

Also in our weekly Bible study group, where we study the Bible precept-by-precept, there are constantly references to Old Testament verses or chapters which must be studied along with in order to fully understand the New Testament.

“I was speaking of the NT bringing the Word of Jesus to us all.”

Yet you did not say that in your post. I am not a mindreader NK. I can only respond to the actual words you post.

“The name Jesus was not mentioned in the Old Testament.”

Oh, now you’ve named Him too? Jesus is a contraction of Jehovah-sus, meaning Jehovah Saves.

“The Catholic Church also canonized the Old Testament, which the majority of protestants ignore.”

They are wise to do so. They took what the Jews had collected and started halfway to home base, claiming they’ve hit a home run.

Protestants have reexamined it all and come up with a canon of Scripture that gets rid of Rome’s errors. We are not using your canon, friend.
