No, because the Christian Bible includes both. If someone doesn't
like OT and NT, they can just decide in their own mind that the two
stand for "Our Text" and " 'Nother Text."

Now, could we please get on to something productive? For
example, I'm looking at the phrase 'erek 'apayim in Psalm 86:15,
and I can't help but wonder how "long of nose" came to mean "slow
to anger." Thoughts?
