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 |

McGracer. I agree with you. However I can remember going in to the Navy in 1964 and the Giddeons gave me a New Testament, which I carried several years. Every man who will take one is offered a NT. Is that not significant? The NT has the total plan of salvation. I dare say if we just handed out Old testaments you would see many come to Christ. I am just trying to make a point. The testaments make up a wholr. agape, justme |
