The Bereans search the scriptures to prove what Paul taught them about Salvation by The Grace of God in Christ. No doubt Paul taught them about Abraham being saved by believing God and it was counted for him righteousness. It would be easy for Paul to then connect the faithing by Abraham tot he one whom Abraham believed was coming to be His Redeemer. There are several in the Septuagint which they had then who are spoken of as professing’ I know that my Redeemer liveth’ or ‘he looked forward to my day’, as Jesus spoke of David and the hallmarks of Hebrew Faithing.
Again Hmmmmmm? So you are saying they weren't reading the NT? That there were scriptures before that? Catholicism sure is confusing. Good thing the Vatican is around to clarify all these important points.
Well, the Bereans didn't have the Catholics or some guy named Tim Staples giving counter truths and decoys to throw them off track.
