umm i dont know or if you are even aware, the Hebrew portion of the scripture to which you refer to, albeit somewhat inaccurately as the 'old testament', are quoted in whole or in part hundreds of times in the Greek portion of scriptures, making your statement inaccurate at best and simply ignorant at worse, perhaps you would you like to try again?

You specifically said " teachings of Christ." It's a matter of interpretation as to whether or not you mean his words alone.

Christ himself quotes extensively from the Hebrew portion of scripture, making the scriptures not a collection of sixty six unrelated books, but a whole, thus it is clear that it refers to Christ's teachings which themselves had a basis in the earlier portions of scripture, one cannot differentiate between the two so as to state, this has no significance, for clearly if that is the case, and it is, the earlier portions have great significance as well, do they not?
Originally posted by divegeester Which denomination, sect, cult, regional or historical division did you have in mind?
The question is at my first post.
But in reality their should not be sects, religions, cults, etc. That was not the thought behind Jesus's teachings. But it's mans dealing that has caused the divisions of Jesus's word and the Bible in general.
So if one were to follow what Jesus taught with no influance from man's opinions, what should a "Christian" be doing in his everyday like with his dealings with man and more importantly with God?
Christian....
