Gospel According to The Scriptures?
Hi Everyone, in the NT, we are told about a Gospel which is according to the Scriptures. Obviously, when we are told about that in the NT, it is ONLY the OT Scriptures that they are referring to. So does anyone know about the Gospel which is ACCORDING to the OT Scriptures, and can you explain it? Thanks, KB.

The NT used the phrase "according to the scriptures" - meaning that these early Christians read the Hebrew Scriptures and looked for prophetic meaning in them.

You see, Moses wrote about the Gospel, and there isn't many who suspect that. KB |

And further, the Pauline writings were composed AFTER 180 CE and AFTER the Memoirs of the Apostles were already known, composed and READ in the Churches as Scriptures of the Jesus cult since 150 CE. See the writings of Justin Martyr. It is known that the story of Jesus was regarded as Scriptures by the Jesus cult so it simply cannot be claimed that every reference to "scriptures" must be Hebrew Scriptures. It is expected that cults would have their OWN Sacred Scriptures and those in the cult would also refer to them as Scripture. The NT itself is the Sacred Scripture of the Jesus cult. |

Has to be so regarded by them because its content annuls and denies the validity of most of the instructions of the Tanka Scriptures.

Hi mountainman, Moses wrote about the Gospel in the Constitution or the Foundation of the Torah. The suffering, death, burial (and even a stone being rolled over the entrance to the tomb), and the third day resurrection was all written about in THE Ordinance of the Torah. KB
