1 | Scripture above scripture? | 2 Tim 3:16 | Wild Olive Shoot | 205368 | ||
I thought this should have its very own discussion. I've seen on this forum as well as other places, recently and not so recently, the act of maybe placing slightly more of an emphasis on certain Scripture due to accuracy, who spoke it and when it was penned. Is there not problem with this way of thinking due to the author of all Scripture? Shouldn’t we hold all of His words at the same level? Or am I maybe being a bit too sensitive here? Looking forward to comments. Stand in His grace, WOS |

2 | Scripture above scripture? | 2 Tim 3:16 | lionheart | 205372 | ||
WOS, Good morning brother. No I don't necessarily think your being too sensitive. The basic tenet of scripture according to 2 Timothy 3:16,17 is that it's all God breathed. We may place more focus on certain segments of scripture than others, But! We gotta take the bible as a whole. We gotta remember That God is the author, men may have penned it but God authored it and did not place any more validity on one part than the other. People can't afford to discount any part of God's Word. It helps to keep Romans 15:4 in mind. I will say this though there may be some manuscripts that may be more accurate than others but we gotta be careful with that. In Him, lionheart |

3 | Scripture above scripture? | 2 Tim 3:16 | Wild Olive Shoot | 205425 | ||
Brother lionheart, I agree that certain manuscripts (not the original autographs) can be held as more reliable. My concern is with Scripture. I can remember a while back on the Forum when a poster seemed to hold the writings of Paul in higher esteem than the rest of Scripture. I also hear quite often a statement along the lines of “Jesus said this” in a manner of dismissing some other part of Scripture based simply on the fact that Jesus spoke it and it was recorded. I think it is important to view all Scripture in the proper perspective of being God-breathed and therefore all as equally important being a revelation from God, even though as you say, we focus on certain portions at various times. I was wondering if others observed the danger of lessening a portion of Scripture, even if done unintentionally, and to that if they even realize that is what they do, while promoting another and if this was something others see with a bit a frequency. Stand in His grace, WOS |
