Some think that Paul is merely talking about the church as the bride of Christ, when he speaks of the mystery. Certainly, the bride is part of the mystery. The rabbis have no concept of the Messiah having a bride. But there is more to it than .that. | |||
A search on academia.com for "New Testament authors use of Old Testament" returns over 179,000 results. Apparently it has become a favorite topic for seminary professors to assign to their students. They push the agenda that New Testament authors misused the Old Testament. They declare that the Old Testament is merely literal-historical. Their students must interpret scripture by ascertaining the original human authors' intent. | |||
This agenda is hostile to the word of God. They directly contradict Jesus who said that all the scripture spoke of him. He did not say that it all alluded to him in some vague manner, or that it all prepared the world for him. It 'spoke' of him. When he read scripture he did not see Adam and Noah, but himself in it all. | |||
