THE SCRIPTURES AND JESUS    BY STEVE FINNELL

Did Jesus have a different view of the Scriptures than do contemporary believers in Christ?

WHAT JESUS SAID. Matthew 21:42 Jesus said to them, "Did you never read in the Scriptures....?"

WHAT JESUS DID NOT SAY. "Did you never read in the Scripture commentaries....?"

WHAT JESUS SAID. Matthew 22:29 But Jesus answered and said to them , "You are mistaken, not understanding the Scriptures nor the power of God."

WHAT JESUS DID NOT SAY. "You are mistaken not understanding the man-made traditions of the elders nor the power of God."

WHAT JESUS SAID. Mark 14:49 Every day I was with you in the temple teaching , and you did not seize Me; but this has taken place to fulfill the Scriptures."

WHAT JESUS DID NOT SAY. "Every day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize Me; but this has taken place to fulfill the opinions of men that have been written in creed books.

WHAT JESUS SAID. John 5:39 You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me;

WHAT JESUS DID NOT SAY. "You search the Scripture commentaries, religious catechisms, and other denominational creed books, as well as all other extra-Scriptural writings; because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me.


WHY DO MEN TODAY NOT TRUST THE SCRIPTURES AND THE SCRIPTURES ALONE?
