Personally, I use "OT" and "NT" since these are widely recognized as
referring to the libraries in question, and they are also consistent
with the designation "old things" and "new things" which classify these
scriptures by age, not by value:
How about Jewish Bible and Christian Bible? Isn't that the most correct?
Matthew 13:
52 Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed
unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder,
which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
See? According to Jesus, the treasure is not found in one part, but
both.
But Jesus is not our authority
So, you should consider losing the "Old Testament" designation because,
while traditional, it is inconsistent with Jesus, and unnecessarily
offensive.
