Major Differences Between Old and New Testament

Amills poo pooh the idea of a literal 1000 years, but do they hold to a literal 12 gates or 12 pearls, even individual pearls (Rev 21:21)?

I believe there is a literal 1000 years and we are living in it now.
;-)
I also believe those gates are symbolism. I do not understand it, though.
I used to think so.
 
Contraire. . .

Lk 10:16--authority stated and consequences of rejecting it.
God is not a man as us . It does not seem that difficult

Who is it that hears both? and despises both

16 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth

literal words in parables giving the unseen spiritual meaning ..

12 the fulness of whatever is in veiw.12 gates entering into the city of Christ prepared for the one bride. All of the old testament saints .

12 wall as apostles sent out one all the new testament saints All together as the golden measure hidden form natural unconverted mankind

A number no any man could number

Revelation 7:9 8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand. (144,000 the virgin bride ) After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

Eh-th-th-th-th-th "That's All folks"

No need to number when God has all the power .We are warned of those of the number. David found out the hard way
 
Please list what you consider the major differences.
Maybe as I read the responses and ask questions my Dispensational leanings will be readjusted accordingly?
There is much more continuity to the Bible than Dispensationalists give it credit for. For example, in Psalms 119:29-30, he wanted to put false ways far from him, for God to be gracious to him by teaching him to obey His law, and he chose the way of faith by setting it before him, so this has always been the one and only way of salvation by grace through faith. The Bible begins with the Tree of Life and ends with the Tree of Life and everything in between is about the way back to the Tree of Life, which is having the experience of knowing God and Jesus through being a doer of His eternal character traits (John 17:3).

I've even bumped heads with some Dispensationalists who like to splice and dice the Scriptures beyond recognition. LOL, don't worry, I'm not a 'chart-carrying, diagram-drawing, date-settin' dispy. 😂

And?
 
Another major difference; Satan's headquarters has moved from heaven to earth...

Revelation 12:5,7,9 KJV
And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. [7] And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, [9] And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Revelation 12:13 KJV
And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
 
Contraire. . .

Lk 10:16--authority stated and consequences of rejecting it.
Not to defend @Mr GLee , as I have huge questions unanswered concerning his beliefs, but I'm guessing, or at least I hope, that he means CONTINUING authority past (or after) the time of the NT apostles.
 
No authority outside of all things writen (sola scriptura) One author of the one gospel of Christ the husband

Luke 10:16 Whoever listens to you listens to me. Whoever rejects you rejects me. And whoever rejects me rejects the one who sent me.”

Same kind of loosening binding law as Mathews 16 or agin repeated in Mathew 18

Mathew 16 AMPC I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind (declare to be improper and unlawful) on earth must be what is already bound in heaven; and whatever you loose (declare lawful) on earth must be what is already loosed in heaven.

Satan turns it up side down earthly inspired as if the apostles had any authority of there self in matters of faith, the unseen eternal things of our husband Christ
 
Continuing with a more obvious one...

Israel was commanded to slay and destroy certain idolatrous nations/peoples that did not accept and follow Jehovah.… Are Christians to kill those who do not accept Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Savior?

Which Israel? Its not as if the living word (let there be and it was good) was of no effect.

Romans 9:6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:

Today many claim the Church is now Israel and there is little difference between the OT/NT, so, I asked,
"Are Christians to kill those who do not accept Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Savior?"
as one point of difference between OT/NT, not 'which Israel'?

The first is preparing the way for the Messiah. The second is the Messiah has come.
Before the enemies were flesh and blood,
After they are spiritual forces, not flesh and blood.

The Bible is one story of redemption with many historical parts.

The church or bride of Christ was first called Israel when Jacob the usurper name was changed . Christ in Isaiah 62 promised to rename the bride which he did in Acts calling her Christian. Literally meaning residents of the city of Christ, prepared for His bride as a demonym. A more befitting name to name the bride of al nations

Just as all of Israel are not born again Israel the same with the word Christian not all Christians who say they are members of the bride are members We walk or understand the invisible by the unseen eternal things not after that seen the temporal historical .

They both the temporal and eternal must be mixed or no gospel understanding .

Ill give you that. I believe the 1,000 years stand for a period of time and it's not literally 1,000 years.

It was in Antioch they were first called Christians' (acts 11:26).
Antioch was predominately Gentile, while the promise was made to the Jews...
Isaiah 62:2 NKJV
The Gentiles shall see your righteousness, And all kings your glory. You shall be called by a new name, Which the mouth of the LORD will name.
...a promise not given to the Gentiles.

true. Not all Israel who call themselves Israel, are Israel / not all Christians, who call themselves Christian are Christian.
They both the temporal and eternal must be mixed or no gospel understanding .
That's where the incarnation comes into play.
