[Forest Keeper]

But this is what tightens the old choke chain around my throat: Look at what Jesus did with the Scriptures. If He tried that kind of hermeneutics where I went to seminary they'd laugh at Him and flunk Him. (Of course, that obviously says more about the seminary that about Him, but still...)

I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you mean.

[Mad Dawg]

I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. Why should you know what I mean when I don't?

Are the psalms prophecy? When In the psalm, the Lord said to my Lord, would you have thought of that as a Messianic psalm?

The approach to Scripture, with Form,literary, textual and all the r est of it criticism, which was in vogue when I was in Seminary was somewhat embarrassed by the way our Lord approaches Scripture. My admittedly superficial conjecture is that Jesus looked at the OT in a manner similar more to the typological method of the Fathers than to other subsequent methods.

Is that any less poorly expressed? (It's the codeine, I swear!)
