Dear "son of god" :: Since this is the first time I've had occasion to address you on SBF, please allow me to welcome you to this Forum. To my mind your post has considerable merit and some good talking points. I do tend to shy away from using the term "Bible trivia" however, inasmuch as all Scripture is God-breathed and profitable, as Scripture itself declares in 2 Timothy 3:16. But in the sense and context of your usage of the term, it is easy enough to grasp your thought and intent, and to be assured that they obviously have no aim to denigrate Scripture. ...... If I am reading your post aright, it reminds me of a little story I heard many years ago. An old retiring preacher of a certain congregation of believers stepped up to the pulpit one Lord's Day morning and gave a little talk in introduction of the young preacher who had been called to replace him. He ended his brief talk with a recitation from memory of Psalm 23, but his memory failed him and he botched it. The new young preacher then came to the pulpit to preach and his sermon was technically perfect in every detail. He ended his sermon by reciting the 23rd Psalm beautifully and flawlessly. After the service as the worshippers were walking down the aisle toward the exit, one turned to the other and said, "The new preacher knows the Psalm, but the old preacher knows the Shepherd." Does this little story serve to illustrate about what you had in mind when you wrote your post? Grace to you and, again, welcome to Study Bible Forum. --Hank | ||||||

Brother Hank, I enjoyed your story of the old and young preachers. Your post was very well put.I suppose the phrase Bible trivia is a poor choice of words.I believe what Paul was saying is that when we focus on the old covenent, we trivialize the redeemptive work of Christ. Yes indeed all scripture is God-Breath 2nd Timothy 3:16 and there is nothing trivial about the Lord God Almighty | ||||||
