Until all Is Fulfilled, 1

Sermons by Bob Vincent and Others

In Matthew 5-17-20, the Lord Jesus teaches us to hold to the plenary, verbal inspiration of Scripture, even down to the Hebrew letters themselves.--Jewish people would never refer to the Hebrew Bible as the Old Testament. They call it the Tanakh from its three major divisions- the Torah -T-r-, --------, the Nevi'im -N-v---m, ----------, and the Ketuvim -Ktuvim, ------------, as in Luke 24-44. But sometimes as simply, the Law and the Prophets, as Jesus does here in Matthew 5-17.--Even when we dislike something in the Bible, we are bound to hold to it and teach it.--Beware of those who evade speaking the truth. Obfuscation means bringing darkness rather than light. I must preach the Bible, and I must preach it clearly.--God has two books- the Bible and nature. The book of nature, or Natural Law, reveals that all people everywhere, at some level, know the true God -Romans 1-18-21-, and they also know the essence of the Ten Commandments -Romans 2-14-15-.--John the Baptist was depressed and stricken with doubt -Matthew 11-3-. So he sent his disciples to Jesus who demonstrated that he was the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy -Matthew 11-5- Isaiah 61-1-3- 53-7- Psalm 110-1-3-.--Jesus then informs his disciples that John the Baptist is the fulfillment of Malachi 3-1 and Malachi 4-5.--This is not teaching reincarnation. --When the New Testament interprets the Old Testament, we have an infallible guide of interpretation.
