Reflection Question to Module 10
Explain the following Doctrinal perspectives: 1. Scripture interprets Scripture 2. Where Scripture silent, we should be silent. 3. OT is Christ concealed, NT is Christ revealed.
Scripture interprets Scripture was a doctrinal perspective that addressed the context of Scripture. The whole of Scripture was the first context which a Scripture is interpreted. The second is the testament the passage is found it, NT or OT. The third context being the book it is in, who it’s addressing, and the forth being the passages before and after it. This is so that we don’t take single verses, and try to interpret them against the rest of Scripture. This is a safeguard for us!
I love the perspective “where the Scripture is silent we should be silent”. It is so crucial that we stick to this; otherwise we can try to make doctrines based on single verses that aren’t kind of sticky. Under section 9, it says, “The Scriptures are not a handbook on all there is to know.” God hasn’t told us every single thing about every single thing. God has given me specific knowledge concerning the things that He knows are the most important for me to love Him, myself, and those He has placed around me (salvation and Godly living, 2 Tim 3:15-17).
I love seeing OT shadows of the coming Christ. All the pictures, especially the personal experiences Abraham, that show the coming of one who is the perfect sacrifice for all who believe. Christ did indeed come not to do away with the Law, but to fulfill it on our behalf. Wow! To me I love seeing the places in the OT where Christ is concealed, and then how He is so awesomely revealed in the New Testament. It’s so awesome.
