Should any part of the Old Testament which is not supported by the New Testament be thrown away and not be practiced by Christians and the Church today?

Few of such practices include first fruit, burning of incence, slaughtering or ram for remission of sin, going to war in the name of God with fellow men, obidience to the 10 commandment etc etc?

Or which one should we practice and which one should be ignored?

I dont think the old testament should be included in the bible at all. The old and new testament greatly contradict each other. And the old testament is what judaism (religion of the jews) follows, and, till this day, Jews don't believe Jesus was/is the son of God. They dont believe he is the messiah that they have been waiting for all this while. Now digest all these facts, and tell me what you think.

Christians are not to follow the Old. However, without the old, we cannot fully understand the new. Gospel and Mysteries of God and His Kingdom was hidden in the old and revealed in the new. You need the understanding of the old to better appreciate the new but unfortunately, many preachers and teachers use the old to CONFUSE "some" Christians telling Christians to mix both old and new together. We, Christians have NOT come to mount sinai BUT to mount Zion. cool
