Hi Doc, I noticed the topic on this and thought some comments by C.H., Spurgeon might add to the discussion. In his sermon on Rom. 15:4, he noted: "THE apostle Paul was an inspired man when he wrote this Epistle, so there was no necessity, on the part of the Holy Spirit, when guiding his mind and pen, to employ words which had been used before in the Scriptures, for his language is unlimited. Yet Paul, inspired as he, was, frequently quoted from the Old Testament, and in the verse preceding our text he quotes from the Psalms: “As it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.” One special reason for quoting from the Old Testament was, doubtless, to, put honor upon it, for the Holy Spirit foresaw that there would be some, in these later days, who would speak of it disparagingly. Not so did our Lord Jesus Christ; not so did his apostles; not so did any by whom the Holy Ghost spake. The Old Testament is not to be regarded with one jot less of reverence and love than is the New Testament; they must remain bound together, for they are the one revelation of the mind and will of God; and woe be to the man who shall attempt to rend asunder that seamless garment of Holy Scripture. There are some who speak of the Old Testament as if it were worn out; but, indeed, it has about it all the freshness, and the force, and the dew of it’s youth; and, in the additional light that the New Testament throws upon its histories, its prophecies, and its promises, it has gathered force rather than lost any, so that we, probably, can appreciate the Old Testament Scripture fair more highly now that we have the New Testament also than we could have done if we had not received both the early and the later revelations." "Nor has the authority of the Old Testament ceased. Of course, the legal ceremonies of the Mosaic dispensation are done away with, for we are not under the law, but under grace; yet; even in their passing away, they answer an important purpose. They often afford us instruction where they are not needed for direction. Still is it true, my brethren, concerning the entire Book, that it was” written for our learning;” and he is a learned man who knows much of Scripture, but he is unlearned, and unstable in the things of God, who knows a thousand other things, ‘but does not know what” things were written aforetime,” and who does not bend his soul, his heart, his intellect, to the believing and the understanding of that which God has spoken of old time by his prophets and apostles." Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
