The Old Testament scriptures were accessed by the Jews. They were Jewish scripture, Linda, not Gentile scriptures. You would not find a Gentile Christian walking around the countryside with the "Bible" under arm in those early years. I made it clear that I was speaking of the Gentile Church and I will add - the Gentile Church of the first century and early second century -- after the fall of Jerusalem and it's associated impact on the Early Church. And, the "Bible" is a specific book containing N.T. scriptures ............... what did these folks do until the books of the "Bible" were decided upon by the Church? Relationship !!! Their relationship with Jesus. I am not fostering some false teaching here. If you don't believe in a "relationship" with Jesus that is something other than Bible study, then we do have a disagreement. My reading of your posts show a "relatioship" that is valued (by you) and as distinct a circumstance as prayer or fellowship or the breaking of bread. Jd
Where does one find "His Word" outside of scripture JD? And how does one abide in Him and have HisWords abiding in them outside of scripture? That is what HE CALLS relationship with his ppl. What youand I have been taught is of no account. You can be waltzing with spirits all over the place and merely bedecieved along with the rest of the Perichoresis crowd who believe they are out there dancing with the trinity. jt
