Old testament and new testament

[Mister Agenda]

In the gap between the OT and NT, some people learned a little bit more about better ways to live together and treat each other, although figuring it out and living it are two different things, as we still find today. Though much of what was thought 2,000 years ago is considered barbaric by modern standards it was still an improvement. The NT reflected that new understanding. Some of the teachings of both testaments remain good advice today, but we've continued to improve in a two-steps forward, one-step back kind of way. For instance, slavery is now commonly understood to be a bad thing.
