The Old T is the solid bedrock on which Christianity is built-
Jesus said:- "All things about me in the law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms, must be fulfilled" (Luke 24:44)
Jesus said:-"The scriptures testify about me..Moses wrote about me" (John 5:46)

but if God wanted us to stick with the Old T wholesale, he wouldn't have sent Jesus to give us the New..:)
And people quickly realised-
"The covenant of which Jesus is mediator is superior to the old one" (Hebrews 8:6)
"The law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ" (John 1:17)
"Through Jesus we are saved, and not through Moses" (Acts of the Apostles 13:39)
"Jesus saved you from the empty way of life handed you by your forefathers" (1 Peter 1:18 )
"We serve in the new way of the spirit, not in the old way of the written code" (Romans 7:6)
"The epistle of Christ, written not in stone, but in the heart" (2 Corinthians 3:3)
"The veil covers the old covenant, but is removed by Jesus" (2 Corinthians 3:12)
"In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent." (Acts of the Apostles 17:30)
"Jesus is worthy of more honour than Moses" (Hebrews 3:3)
"The law brought us to Christ like a schoolmaster, but now through Christ we are not under that schoolmaster" (Galatians 3:22-25)
"The first covenant had rules of worship, but Jesus's rules are not man-made" (Hebrews 9:1-15)
"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith" (Hebrews 12:2)
"Jesus gives us all we need for life" (2 Peter 1:3)
"Christ is the end of the law" (Romans 10:4)
"The mystery hidden in God since the beginning of the world, now made plain through Jesus" (Ephesians 3:9-11)

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

A good example of rightly dividing the word of truth was demonstrated by Jesus himself:

“…What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.” (Matthew 19:6-8)

But the “rightly dividing” scripture has been used inordinately by Dispensational Theology to do violence to the scriptures.
