a few decades after the death of the Apostles a heretic rose up named Marcion. He began to teach that Christianity was a separate religion from Judaism, that God had rejected the Jews and replaced them with the church,among other incorrect teachings.
As his influence increased his heresies became bolder to the point that what we call the Old Testament was had to be a failed covenant with old Israel and therefore not applicable to the church... that the only thing that should be considered scripture for the church was the writings of Paul(with the perverse thought that Paul was against Moses) and an edited version of Luke. That the God of the Old Testament was a violent tyrant but Jesus had come and shown the true loving God. At that point the church leaders declared him a heretic and his conclusions as heresies.
The problem is the conclusions where thrown out but many of the little precepts remained. The little foxes spoil the vine...
In our modern church the old is seen as being over so very little is it studied except in a very edited way.
let all things be established in the mouth of two witnesses...
Jesus is the word made flesh.. what word? The testimony of Moses and the prophets. The things taught there are literally his DNA. The testimony of the Apostles and their witness of Him in the Gospels in the epistles is the second witness by which our faith is established.
If we listen to only one witness then nothing can be established according to Jesus own words.
