All scripture is given by the inspiration of god, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness 2 Timothy 3: 16-17
That the man of god may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good work.
This means that you can use both old and new testament to establish truth about pants,female covering, Sabbath,marriage,divorce,repentance etc.rightly divided of course.
We are also built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone. Ephesians 2 :20-22
In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made, St John 1: 1-5 This show the word was Christ and is eternally settled in heaven. It is the guide, rule book, councillor and government for the church. In sorting out problems in church the bible should be our first port of call. king David always look to God from the mouth of the prophet before going to battle and we should too.
Noah built the ark according to the pattern spoken to him by God . He obeyed the word by faith and saved himself and his household. Genesis 5
The new covenant commands take precedence over old testament laws but to astablish truth both old and new can be consulted.
