1 | Scripture above scripture? | 2 Tim 3:16 | Neilw | 205403 | ||
I too wonder about the authority of some scriptures ..I read everything that was high lighted in red ( Jesus was being Quoted)in the Bible and find Paul and several others take a much higher aproach.In other words it would seem to follow the written things Jesus spoke would be much easier than what Peter and Paul tell us. Maybe I'm misunderstanding this. Maybe what was written of the teachings of Jesus was for you and I to read ,but what Paul and others taught was different than what we are taught because paul would be dedicating his absolute life to the hardship of teaching and would have been taught as one would teach a minister to the world.Of coarse there would have been thousands of lessons the 12 would have been taught .Sort of like a school teacher that goes to school to learn abc's then goes back and learns much more because this time the teacher is being taught to teach the abc's not to learn them..Any way thats kinda how I justify the disciples being more strict than Jesus seems to be.

2 | Scripture above scripture? | 2 Tim 3:16 | Wild Olive Shoot | 205415 | ||
Dear neilw, Thank you for the response. I’m afraid there are many more who tend to hold certain parts above others. Here is the bottom line I think: Look to the author. 2Timothy 3:16,17: 16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work. Matthew 4:4 But he answered, "It is written, "'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.'" Deuteronomy 8:2,3: 2 And you shall remember the whole way that the LORD your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, testing you to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments or not. 3 And he humbled you and let you hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that he might make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD. Since the author of Scripture is God Himself, should we hold what is recorded of Jesus over what Paul, or Peter or Moses or any other wrote? God gave us the Holy Scriptures to make us wise unto salvation. Every one of them divinely inspired serve to that purpose with Christ being their subject and all to God’s glory. God is witness to God and He has revealed Himself to us by His Word. I think it is dangerous to say that because Jesus spoke it, it holds more weight than what Paul wrote under divine inspiration. It’s all from God is it not? Hebrews 1:1,2: 1 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. John 1:1-3: 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. John 5:37-39: 37And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness about me. His voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen, 38 and you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe the one whom he has sent. 39 You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me, Stand in His grace, WOS |
