——>There was no Bible at the time of that prophecy and promise except “the Law and the Prophets.”

I call it the “Old Testament” and so do many others. I never said that’s what it was called in the bible, because it wasn’t.

I call it the “Old Testament” and so do many others. I never said that’s what it was called in the bible, because it wasn’t.

Jesus referred to the Law and the Prophets. The phrase "Old Testament" was first used by Melito of Sardis, a Jewish Catholic bishop in the Second Century.

Take a look:

Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
