    Not really, you stated the old testament is there to show people were wicked and evil before Christianity in the new testament. That’s not why its included in the bible or why it was written.

    It’s included because the entire Christian religion is built off the Hebrew writings so they are included for continuity. At times the old testament was even seen as a set of laws and ways a good person should live their life.

      people were wicked and evil before Christianity

      I’ve not once said such a thing. I said that it was included to make clear the contrast between how terrible the world was before Christ, so people can appreciate what Christ did for them. And again, you don’t have to agree with that, but you ought to at least be honest about the purpose for which it was included.
