Emmaus, What we need to understand is that there is progressive revelation, even in the New Testament. Surely what Christ taught is important. But it is also important to know that He was born under and taught under Law. The New Testament (Covenant) did not go into effect until He died. You wrote: "The Gospels have primacy over all other scripture for the Christian. If we had nothing but them they would be enough. God could raise up a thousand apostles, but there is only one Jesus Christ." This simply is not true. Why? Because Paul wrote 2/3 of the New Testament and he said that his teachings were not his own nor was he taught them by any man. He received the "rest" of the New Testament directly from the Lord Himself. Therefore, to insist that the Gospels have primacy over the rest of NT scripture displays your ignorance (not an insult, but a lack of knowledge) that Jesus Christ is the author of the rest of the New Testament. Yes, brother, there is only one Jesus Christ and He authored ALL of the New Testament, not just the gospels. Amen? McGracer |

Readers, Evidently, there is some misunderstanding of what I meant in my post to Emmaus. I will attempt to clarify my post and view: 1. I DID NOT label Emmaus as an ignorant person. What I said (check my post) was that his supposition that the 4 gospels had primacy over the other New Testament scriptures was ignorant - meaning that he lacked the knowledge that Jesus Christ is the author of ALL the scriptures, not JUST the gospels. But it is being proliferated that I believe Emmaus to be an ignorant person. This is not what I meant in my post and it is certainly not what I said. Therefore, I am NOT the one trying to cause strife between the brethren. 2. I am ignorant in many areas. There are many things that I don't know. If those who feel I am being divisive and should disqualify myself from posting because they feel that I have labeled someone as "ignorant" would read MY other postings, they would see that I am ignorant in areas. I readily admit it. But... 3. I will not compromise on the truth. If someone submits a post similar to what Emmaus has said that stipulates that the Old Testament has primacy over the New Testament because it came first or because God is greater than Jesus Christ, I will confront that belief to the best of my ability. I hope this clarifies my stance and intent. McGracer |
