I considered it but the fact remains the NT was written by Christians, and the text does not say there are none of those.

The gospels are a narration of the King of the Jews, His speeches and His fate.
The gospels are overflowing with everything Israel.
Gentiles barely get a mention in the gospels.
Paul's letters are addressed to Gentiles.
Really? So when people speak of the multiple writers of Bible books, they refer to God? I thought
when it says approximately 40 authors, it means the authors which were men wrote as they were
inspired by the Holy Spirit. Not that God did the writing. Men such as Moses, Joshua, Jeremiah, Ezra,
whoever wrote Judges, Ruth, Samuel, Chronicles, Nehemiah, Isaiah etc etc on into NT writers
Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul, James, Peter, Jude...
Paul is said to have written close to 28% of the NT...
2 Timothy 3:16
All Scripture is inspired by God...
Many of the authors in the O.T did not understand what they were writing.
They were told to write what God told them to write, God breathed.
Daniel 12:8
But as for me, I heard but did not understand...
Paul wrote 13 of the 27 letters which is 48%.
Three of the gospels are narrations of the ministry of Jesus, these three gospels
cover the same narration.
Acts is the early history of the church and the apostles.
Revelation is eschatology.
Therefore, Paul actually wrote much greater than 50% of the N.T, regarding the
Gospel, the Church, and the Christian life.
Reread my statement:
The law of God “codified” in the Ten Commandments, “ summarized” by Jesus in several Gospel accounts, has always existed just as man since the fall has always had a sinful nature.
You identified the Ten Commandments as the codified law in an earlier post, I then quoted them as well as the summarization of those commandments from the Old Testament source as quoted by Jesus.
It is obvious that fallen man beginning with Adam was under the law:
[1Jo 3:4 KJV] 4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
The rest of the statement regarding Noah was mentioned because Noah was saved by grace. That sounds just like the New Covenant doesn’t it?
Please do your own research.
That is what I said: Holy Spirit inspired. And there is more to the NT than letters. People
who say Paul wrote more than 50% of the NT completely overlook the gospels.
Sort of:
[Luk 1:70 KJV] 70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:
[2Ti 3:16 KJV] 16 All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
[1Pe 1:11 KJV] 11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
Funny. There are 66 books. Paul as you noted wrote more than one.
So did Luke, and so did John. Moses is said to have written five.
As already stated... Though Luke was not ethnically Jewish.
It was largely written by former Jews who no longer promoted all the laws they had previously been under.
From Acts 15:20 plus 28 Abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals, and from blood. It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond these essential requirements
What about offerings?
Easy to see that sacrifices are obsolete and the law that included sacrifices was obsolete.
The letter of the law has passed in that respect.
Jews do not believe the NT. A person who believes in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ is a Christian.
The third one what? If you mean quotes (since there are 3 of them) they are all yours.
Anyone can click where it says Inquisitor said, and it will take them to the original post.
