Without wishing to offend any delightful DUers of a Christian persuasion who have faith that the New Testament is based on the words, sayings and actions of a Jewish Leader of repute in the year dot, I take no account or reference from it.
As a Jew (and I can speak on this subject on behalf of my religion) "we" do not put ANY authority into the books gathered together as the New Testament. They are a fine body of work, but not religious, not holy, and not important to us religiously.

So when someone says they read about X, Y or Z in "The Bible" I think they mean the Old Testament, because that is all that The Bible is to me (and my fellow Jews) whereas they might be meaning the New Testament or the old, I can't be sure.

The phrase "The Bible" should only refer to the OT in my humble opinion.
