Of course the Old Testament is older, but the Christian Canon of it is set forth by the Church, while the New Testament, the tool that unlocks the Old Testament for us, is a direct product of the Church.

If you're going to insist the Jews "got it wrong" for the thousand years after Sinai, don't complain that Martin Luther was silly to believe the Church got it wrong for the first 1500 years of chr*stianity.

Assuming the truth of chr*stianity is no different than assuming the truth of Protestantism. If Protestants should open themselves up to critique by the prior tradition then so should chr*stianity itself.

Inncorrect. Protestantism can be refuted by it's own doctrines.

There is no linearity here. The Jews had the revelation of God available to them prior to the Incarnation of Christ. But Luther had the revelation of Christ and denied it.
