Believe it or not, there are Christians that respect the things that transpired in the Old Testament that led up to the events of the New Testament.
For example, it's been said that many of our laws were based upon the 10 Commandments. That came from the Old Testament. Then Ten Commandments with Chuck Heston is a good f**kin' movie, btw. That was all about Exodus, passover, and the giving of the Ten Commandments to Moses. All Jewish events but are also a foundation of Christianity, a common belief. That's just my take on what that means, I haven't looked it up but I will now, so stand by for a possible edit.
