RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD
mt 12-36 But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.
MT 4-4 It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
GAL 6-7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to the flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.
RO 8-5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
TIT 2-1 But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine.
REV 22-18 For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of the book. If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book, and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
2JOH 10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him.
TIT 2-1 But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine.
RO 3-4 That you may be justified in your words, and may overcome when you are judged.
1CO 11-32 But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.
1CO 11-31 For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged.
1CO 2-14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.
HEB 4-12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
REV 2-2 I know your works, your labor, your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars.
1JOH 4-1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
Luke 9:55
55 But He turned and rebuked them, and said, "You do not know what manner of spirit you are of.
Phil 1:9-10
9 And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment,
10 that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ,
John 7:24
24 "Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment."
2 Cor 5:12
12 For we do not commend ourselves again to you, but give you opportunity to glory on our behalf, that you may have an answer for those who boast in appearance and not in heart.
2 Cor 10:7
7 Do you look at things according to the outward appearance? If anyone is convinced in himself that he is Christ's, let him again consider this in himself, that just as he is Christ's, even so we are Christ's.
Heb 5:12-14
12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food.
13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe.
14 But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Matt 16:2-3
2 He answered and said to them, "When it is evening you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red';
3 "and in the morning, 'It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.' Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times.
Luke 12:56-57
56 "Hypocrites! You can discern the face of the sky and of the earth, but how is it you do not discern this time?
57 "Yes, and why, even of yourselves, do you not judge what is right?
1 Cor 1:10
10 Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
1 Cor 1:18-20
18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
19 For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent."
20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
1 Cor 1:25-29
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26 For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.
27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty;
28 and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are,
29 that no flesh should glory in His presence.
1 Cor 2:6-7
6 However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory,
1 Cor 2:9-10
9 But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him."
10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
Luke 6:32-33
32 "But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
33 "And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
Matt 5:47
47 "And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so?
2 Tim 2:15
15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

xxx Rightly dividing the Word of God can only be done by the Holy Spirit. So we need to find the Holy Spirit and submit to Him. And then the Holy Spirit will rightly divid through us. And what makes it rightly dividing is that the Holy Spirit will only quote verses from the new testament. You need to know your carnal mind cannot rightly divid the Word.

Why did the writers of the New Testament quote verses from the OT so often?

Were those writers not guided by the Holy Spirit?

Jesus is the author of the new testament. Jesus knew which to bring over to the new testament. That same Jesus told us that all who ever came before Him are thieves and robbers.

John 10:7-8
7 Then Jesus said to them again, "Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 "All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.

But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times
some will apostasize from the faith, paying attention
to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons

Remember all that happens outside of the Word of God. If you follow the rules of believing you shouldn't have any worry. don't think beyond what is written and don't add one thing to the verses or take one thing away from the verses.

1 Cor 4:6
6 Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that you may learn in us not to think beyond what is written, that none of you may be puffed up on behalf of one against the other.
(NKJ)

Rev 22:18-19
18 For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book;
19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Rightly dividing the Word of God can only be done by the Holy Spirit.

And the Holy Spirit waited over 1800 years and landed right on Darby and his ilk, right?

That's the thing about those dispensationalists- just taking old news and misinterpreting it to their convenience. Christianity has a rich history of the Holy Spirit binding, lossing, and edifying.

Stop trying to recreate Christianity.

lol What does binding, loosing , and edifying have to do with dividing the Word.

"And what makes it rightly dividing is that the Holy Spirit will only quote verses from the new testament."

So, we're on a scripture quoting marathon, are we? Well, let me see: (KJV just in case)

For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words? (John 5:46-47)

Are you telling me (us) that the OT is not of GOD? That the NT is the only reliable source for the "Holy Spirit" to utilize in communication? Well, Jesus begs to differ with you as he stated in the scripture I quoted.

Further more, it is written, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:" (2 Timothy 3:16)

Mind telling what scripture Paul was speaking of? The NT? I think not for it was yet to be as we know it. And anytime the NT referred to "scripture" it was speaking of the OT.

So Moses, Isaiah, Malachi are thieves and robbers? It seem like that is what you are saying. Please elaborate.

not so. The word scriptures doesn't even show up in the old testament. And the word scripture only shows up in one verse and it is talking about the future. The new testament wasn't even in force while Jesus was alive. The new testament didn't go into force until after the cross.

Heb 9:16-17
16 For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
17 For a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives.
(NKJ)

You really need to take all that in to account before you start criticizing.

So you are saying that 2 Timothy 3:16 is talking about future scripture, not the OT? Please answer specifically and answer the questions I posed prior.

So the answer is Yes? And, No I do not doubt things written in the NT. I believe them. If according to you I doubt what I read in the NT, then why would I quote from said doubtful NT as evidence and proof that your premise is wrong?

I did say elaborate, didn't I. Jesus was talking about false prophets. Even when you incorporate the scope (Context) of the passage he even refers to preachers for hire. He is not saying Moses and the other OT writers are thieves and robbers. That my friend is twisting scriptures to your own demise.
