Is the Old Testament binding? Can we TRUST the words of the Old Testament, without reservation? And how can you be SURE?
Most of the world has “done away” with the Old Testament completely. They don’t even have the Old Testament in their Bibles! And if you quote the Old Testament, they’ll say “Oh, well, that’s Old Testament, that’s all done away with, that doesn’t apply to us anymore”.

First of all, I need to point out that your preacher never shows you any PROOF that Jesus did away with the Old Testament. The best you ever see is this scripture…
2 Corinthians 3:14-15 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
