Subject: distinction.....scriptures and inspired |
Bible Note: pauls writings are letters!but also they are inspired by holy spirit!becuaseit does say in peter in he was given wisdom(holy spirit) to do his writings...there is no shame in knowing that jesus called the law(exodous-deut)testimony(joshua-malacai)the scriptures.remember the passage in luke 4th chapter where he open the book of isaiah and read a scripture..and then told the crowd "today" this scripture i just read to you has been fulfilled.Again referring to these as the scriptures....i have know problem seeing the distinction...paul and peter also knew what the scripture were too.besides all of their writings were inspired also...but they were not the scriptures..i have come to appreciate that over the years..that is why jesus continually told his diciples if you want to know something abt me begin with moses...there is reason for that...i am not a scholar,but i find this to be true. this is my humble opinion,. |
