Martin, as Christians, we're not supposed to build our doctrines out of the Old Testament!

The early Apostles and Christian prophets built their doctrines out of the Old Testament. The only time the church was ever away from the Old Testament was when it became anti-semitic. Righteousness, Peace, and Joy in the Holy Spirit is totally built around God fulfilling His promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Holiness was an Old Testament requirement that the early Apostles said still applies under the reign of Jesus Christ. All of the comments by the Apostles about the excellence of Scripture and it's place in the lives of believers are references to the Old Testament because the New Testament, while being completed before the ending of the first hundred or so years of the Church wasn't available in every Christian bookstore at the time! It's a mistake to assume that everything prophesied in the Old Testament has already been fulfilled. The book of Hosea is alluded to and even directly quoted enough times in the New Testament to give it the early Apostolic seal of approval for usage by the Churches.
