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!)

Oh, OK, now I see where you're coming from. I suppose I've never thought about it before. How does Jesus interpret? I suppose I've always just taken the "single meaning" road, but I've never gone into it enough to compare different techniques. That will take some thought. :)
