Andes, You said: "The Gospels are important, BUT The Letters Rom-Jud are what we should be studying the most. THEY TEACH US HOW TO DO THE SAYINGS OF JESUS UNDER OUR COVENANT" Bull! 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. Emmaus |

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 |

In the Andes and McGracer, Praise be to God our Father and His Son Jesus Christ to whom all power has been given in Heaven and earth! Just a note, please keep in mind that I am no expert, to say that I am so very THANKFUL for the gospels! Most of the scripture verses that were quoted to me by the person who led my to Jesus were from the 4 gospels. McGracer, You write to Emmaus: "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)" Let me tell you that even though you say you did not mean this as an insult, I viewed it that way. You have been part of this forum a whole 4 days. I suggest McGracer that you "click" on the author "Emmaus" and view ALL POSTINGS BY THIS AUTHOR and then post, as I'm sure you will, an apology on the comment about Emmaus' ignorance, or lack of knowledge as you say it. My dear brother Emmaus, I am so thankful for you. I have read as many of your posts as time has aloud me and have learned much. Thank you for being part of this forum, and, the family of God. Many bleesings to you Emmaus! In Christ Jesus, Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

Cyclist, The measure of truth, brother, is not how long one has been on a forum nor how much content one has posted. This applies to me as well as anyone else. The measure of truth is "What does God's Word say?" Emmaus has stated that the 4 gospels have primacy over the other writings of the New Testment. He implied that the gospels are the words of Christ and that the rest of the New Testament are the words of mere apostles and men. My point is that Christ (through the Holy Spirt) is the author of ALL of the Bible - He is the Word. For anyone to claim differently shows their lack of knowledge in this particular area. So I was not calling Emmaus an ignorant person, brother, I was just stating that he lacks understanding about the authorship of the Bible. I truly hope that Emmaus researchs the authorship of the Word a little bit more. We should know what we are talking about and be able to back it up with scripture before we label someone else's view as "Bull!" (which Emmaus has done). McGracer |

Gentlemen, you who are weighing in on the relative importance of one book of Scripture over another, please let your subjective assessments be guided by Scripture itself. ALL Scripture is God-breathed and it is our command to handle this word of truth properly. (2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Tim. 2:15). --Hank | ||||||

Point taken Hank. Thank you for caring enough to set us back on course. Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |
