I 100% agree with you-----I to have said many times that one day in heaven I can ask Paul, or any of the gospel writers "what they meant when they wrote----"
I went back into the O.T some weeks ago because the O.T was the only Scripture available in the old days of the apostles, I went looking for Scripture concerning Jesus----which I found, but more than that I learned that man-kind has not changed one little bit over the years, OH! our world has changed, our idols have changed, our whole living has changed, but man-kind, really has not changed their heart one tiny little bit----I found that we have not learned anything from history. I hope all my reading, research leads me to be a "better person today than I was yesterday"-----this little statement is in my daily prayer. I was in Jeremiah and I had the desire to get back into the N.T., I flipped my Bible open and it opened to the very beginning of Hebrews, now I have been through Hebrews several times, but this trip in Hebrews is like all things are new---I been 3 days, approximately 2 to 3 hours each day, and now am only at chap. 5. Like I said I have gone through Hebrews several times, now I am learning I never knew or really understood much. But I have many times omitted that I am a little thick upstairs, lol, small example----REST in the O.T. means one thing while in the N.T. REST means something different.....Let me wrap up with this piece I read in footnotes----FAITH---mere knowledge of God's message is not sufficient, it must be appropriated by saving faith-----I thank God every day that I came to saving faith, (1990) today I am no longer lost....at 80 yrs old I am confident that heaven awaits me.....I thank God every day that I learn a little something new from the Scriptures----God Bless and have a great week-end
