Oh fuck off.
Sorry but really; Why is the old testament up for debate? Did any church official claim that it is no longer canon? Nope, Christians are rejecting it because it's convenient. Religious critics love to pick over the old testament because it's so full of bullshit. Even the most passionate Christians find it hard to defend all the fucked up morales. If you're blindly going to follow the new testament why is the old testament up for debate?

Yes, plenty of Church officials claimed that the Old Testament is no longer canon. And they say that because Jesus supposedly said it. Humanity lives in a state of grace thanks to his sacrifice and that means that only the New Testament and whatever the popes decided to lay down counts as law.
Now, a better question for you to ask is why Christians today still use the Old Testament when it's convenient to do so.
