"One the replies at the source bothered me. They wrote that to understand the New Testament you needed to know the Old Testament.Does that apply to salvation?"

NO but it certainly applies to sanctification.

[huldah1776]

So the NT does not teach us holy living as Jesus lived in completion? Is this not the age of the Holy Spirit in every Christian? I can eat meat sacrificed to idols (as long as it isn’t human) and others shouldn’t. Is that the basis of the sanctification discussion?
