The meat of scripture has been hidden to those who follow the likes of Rood as it is written.

2 Corinthians 3:14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.

Eventually you may understand that the “scriptures” is mostly the OT, except for Matthew and Revelation.

Paul’s epistles are difficult for the beginner to follow, because he beats the subject back and forth almost endlessly before delivering the key message. Peter and James are more direct, but in some cases Peter is almost too short with his advice.

Picking single sentences from Paul, one could easily make it appear that he said the opposite of what he is saying.

In 2Corinthians 3:14, the vail is the limitation on understanding, which is truly dispelled by Yeshua’s crisp assertions.
