Bible Question: i am so sorry.i was in a hurry to write.sorry steve.in that passage paul was given wisdom.correct!then if you keep reading it say's "letters".Matthew,Luke,Mark,John, are accounts of his life that those apostles gave of their time with him.right?and then Acts-revelations are letters right?if you keep reading luke 24:45 it say's he opened up the scriptures to them.again matt-rev was not written yet..even though they were inspired by holy spirit..read isa.8:20....jesus told his followers if they wanted to know something about him to begin with moses.I am not a trained bible scholar,but i ask for a understanding.....which he says ask for and the holy spirit(he)will call "all" things to rememberance...just like the "word" is him...and not the actual pages of the bible.john 1:1 the "word became flesh,and the word was god! |
Bible Answer: Good morning Let's start with the gospels--Matthew and John were written as accounts of those who spent time with the Lord Jesus. Mark was written by one who observed what was going on without being an intimate part of the group. Luke was written by someone to be historically accurate and relied on others for the material. Acts is an historic account of the working of the Holy Spirit through the apostles, especially Peter and Paul. Part of it was firsthand, part was not. Romans-Jude are letters as you have stated. Revelation is prophecy with some short letters within the whole. Now you are correct in saying that the NT was not written yet, and that the "Scriptures" spoken of--by the Lord in Luke 24, by Luke in the book of Acts, and by Paul in his writings--is the OT. I was pointing out that, regardless if we call them Scriptures, letters, prophecies, etc.--they are all part of the word of God and are of the same importance. That's why we also refer the NT as Scripture. Have I answered your question? Steve |
