Markarios; Thanks for a great answer. Besides the verse you mentioned, which was: Romans 15:4 "For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope." [ESV] Here is another NT verse that says pretty much what the verse you sent me says: Here it is: 1 Cor. 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them (REFERRING TO THE ISRAELITES WHO WERE WANDERING IN THE WILDERNESS) for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. Thanks again Blessing to you also |

To which I would add; 2 Timothy 3:16-17 "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." Remember that Paul is writing to Timothy at a time when much of what we call the New Testament had not yet been written down. It was primarily an oral tradition at that time. So when Paul refers to "all scripture", he is referring to the Old Testament. We must, however, understand the Old in the context of the New. Jesus said in Matthew 5:17 "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them." |
