First I am not sure what you are replying to.
But in any event was seeking to get peoples thoughts directed to some of the principles concerning the study of the scriptures.
I do not hold that the OLd testament is ONLY concerned with LAW.
But is God speaking in PARTS or in "divers ways and in sundry places" what He has spoken to us in these last days by His Son.
As such we need to understand the PARTS as much as we need to u nerstand the whole.
For if we do not we will not realy come to aknowledge of the hights and depths and breadths of scripture and in consequence fully underdstand the love of Christ towards us.
The LAW is only a PART of the MESSAGE.
as is the salvation by grace and not of those works of the law.
It took 4000 yeas for God to prepare the 'soil' "for the seed to be able "to fall into the ground and die"It is also the revaltion of God the Father even as the gospels are of the Son.
So....It folows that if wqe would understand more of the trinity of God we also need to study the Old testament to do so.
More given that in the LAST book  it speaks of the "tree of life" it is not unreasonable then to sugest that we also need to understand the FIRST book if we would understand the LAST one.

I do not think you can gain from ANY of my posts the idea that I believe or advocate salvation by Works.
But on the contrary.
But I DO believe and advocate that the gospel has beennTRUNCATED to fit MANS experience rather than letting the scriptures chalenge our present experience to be conformed to what the scriptures SAY.
