All Scripture Is Profitable

I know there are some that have been taught, and believe that the old testament is not relevant for us today.
My question then is "how can it not be relevant?"
We serve a God that is immutable, which includes His thinking.
We can depend on God to say what it is He means, and to mean what He say's.
This is why He is also called faithful.
2 Timothy 3;16" ALL scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness."
The Old Testament as well as the New, are ALL scripture.
The Old Testament allows us to learn from the past failures, mistakes, and successes of those who have gone before us. The old testament offers more clarity and insight for things mentioned in the new testament, often reflecting on things that were to come.
Praise God for His infinite wisdom and His plan and process
 of getting mankind to not only recognize sin,
through the giving of the law to the nation of Israel by Moses,
 but also allowing mankind to recognize it's need for a Savior
through the person of Jesus Christ.
