You post regularly and mostly from the Pauline Epistles.
I don’t need to post scripture, although I have. Scripture is not my only authority. On the other hand, while I revere the Holy Bible, I take it as a whole, not a partial verse at a time.
==============================================
Check these out:
Luke 4:3
3The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread."
4Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone.
Jesus was quoting from this verse:
Deuteronomy 8:3
3And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.
Jesus quoted a partial verse!
Luke 4:16-20
16He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. And he stood up to read. 17The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written: 18"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, 19to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."[e] 20Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him, 21
This is the verse that Jesus quoted:
Isaiah 61:1-2
1The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; 2To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
Jesus stopped in the middle of a verse!
================================================
Is there something wrong with what Jesus is doing? Is there something wrong with wielding Gods Word in like manner as our Lord?
I post Scripture, J.A. Which may explain why my posts seem so foreign to you.
