Susan,

IMHO the N.T. is more than just "the commentary of the O.T." I am not doubting the sincerity of your pastor's heart here Susan, but the N.T. is a testament in its own right (with which I am sure your pastor would agree, but his statement appears to speak otherwise). The N.T. is also a testament that is grounded and has a foundation in the O.T., since most of its content come from the O.T. There is a continuity between them that is rich and as we discover and apply this continuity of truth it enriches us a well.
