We are all glad to have the NT, but we make the mistake of thinking that it introduces radically new ideas. For example, when Jesus is asked about the Great Commandment of the law, He quotes from Deut. and Leviticus. If we apply those principles (love of God and love of man) to our lives, we will live God-honoring lives.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07306854704766653209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987271399653590272.post-67089779083186812202010-08-30T12:20:51.216-04:002010-08-30T12:20:51.216-04:00Eric,

If they demonstrate sufficiency, then wouldn't it be the sufficiency of the Scriptures that they had? In other words, if they are saying that their Scripture are sufficient, then why do we need the additional books and letters that were written afterwards?<br /><br />-AlanAlan Knoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07452247058550736803noreply@blogger.com
