Sure. Typically at the beginning of every sermon our Pastor will introduce the theme and then refer to what amounts to the "passage(s) of the week". They come from every corner of the Bible. I consider this to be "the reading" and for this we stand every week. Now, during the sermon he will invariably refer to other supporting scriptures for this or that point, and for those we do not stand. So, if I gave the impression that we were up down up down up down the whole time, then I apologize. :) My real point was that when we do stand every week for "the reading", it does not matter whether it is from the Gospels, the OT or Revelation, etc. We treat it all equally as God's word.

Fascinating. The Chronicler is treated as equal to God?

The Chronicler is treated as equal to God?

No, but the words of the Chronicler ARE the words of God, so there is no comparison to other words of God. They are all equally true and of equal value in and of themselves.
