Bible open. Notepad and pen to the ready. Articles to look at and coffee brewing.
My question that I am mulling over today is how I read the bible - how do I read scripture? More specifically how do I read the OT and the NT...
Some Monday morning questions to ponder over:
Do I believe that the NT interprets the OT?
Or
Do I think the OT interprets the NT?
Does the NT tell me that I need to re-read the OT in a different way and that Jesus re-interprets the OT for me...or does the OT interpret what Jesus and the apostles are saying and therefore the OT does not need interpreting from the NT?
Is the Trinity in the OT? ... Or does God just like talking to himself? ...
These are just questions floating around. Not really for anyone to answer, but feel free to comment!

I'm not sure the trinity is in the old testament tbh, and probably not in the NT either
Thats really interesting. Why do you think that? :)
Actually I remember a bible study when my pastor indicated that the Trinity is in the OT. Don't quote me on this...but I believe it's in Genesis during the creation where in the original hebrew the word for God is the plural form. And specifically 3! I'm not entirely sure...will need to do some research on the subject and get back to you on it.
"Is the Trinity in the OT? ... Or does God just like talking to himself? ..."
lol!
He's mad, sad or Trinity!
Great meeting you today. You know what I think...
Hey Cherry,
I think you are right - the hebrew word is Elohim, which is plural!
Glen has written some great posts on Christ in the OT, have a read and do comment on what you find :)
