  2. The Bible Time-Line... Old Testament End New Testament Genesis - Acts 2 - Rev. 22 MMLJ/BC 50 Christ Days Pentecost Today o-----o------o------o--> o----o----------------> Every character, covenant, command and promise! * The Bible is essentially covenant history * Old Testament: “past” covenant history * New Testament: “present” covenant history Bible Studies by Dan Billingsly

  3. How Shall We Interpret The Bible? • Not by book, chapter and verse! • Not by a verse here and there! • By whole and complete covenants! • To interpret by covenant, we must understand where each covenant “begins” and “ends”! • Acts 2 - Revelation 22 is the whole and complete New Testament! Bible Studies by Dan Billingsly

  4. How Shall We InterpretThe Bible? • Not by an undivided concordance! • Not by incorrect and unscriptural Bible helps! • Not by sectarian and denominational commentaries, study outlines! • Not by brotherhood error among churches of Christ! Bible Studies by Dan Billingsly

  5. How Shall We Interpret The Bible? • By Covenant! • By Text And Context! • Which covenant was/is in force during each book, chapter and verse. • Each covenant must be interpreted by the teaching within the same covenant. • All New Testament doctrine is in the new covenant of Acts 2 through Rev. 22! Bible Studies by Dan Billingsly

  6. 3 Covenant Ages:Must Not Mix-Combine Doctrine! Patriarchal Age Adam-Abraham Different covenants made with various families Genesis 1 thru Exodus 19 History Mosaical Age Moses-Christ One covenant made with one nation-Israel Exodus 20 - Matt. 27 Mk. 15 Lk. 23 Jn. 19 History New Testament Age Christ - Apostles to Today One New Covenant made with church Acts 2 - Revelation 22 Only covenant in force today! Mt 28 Mk 16 Lk 24 Jn 20 Acts 1 Bible Studies by Dan Billingsly

  7. WHAT IS THE ISSUE? • Not the inspiration of the Scriptures! • Not the number of books in the Bible! • Not the basic doctrine of the church! • It is the 1486 AD Roman Catholic division of the books of the Bible into the Old and New Testaments. • It is the moving of MMLJBC from the Old to the New Testament! Bible Studies by Dan Billingsly

  8. Deaver “Errs” With Every Argument On MMLJBC… • 1. In MMLJBC, every word was authored by Jehovah for only Israel! • 2. In MMLJBC, Jesus was sent as “last” O.T. “prophet to only Israel! • 3. In MMLJBC, God spoke to only Israel through Jesus the “last prophet” of the O.T. -- the Messiah! • Deaver “errs” - for MMLJBC was not for worldwide consumption! Bible Studies by Dan Billingsly

  9. “Traditionalists” demand to “pick and choose”... • New Testament doctrine in MMLJBC! • Do they have special and secret powers to interpret between Christ’s teaching of Old Testament law of Moses and New Testament doctrine in MMLJBC. • Tell us, brethren, where in the Scriptures is the rule you use to separate between old and new covenant teaching in MMLJBC, and then “pick and choose” only inspired New Testament doctrine? Bible Studies by Dan Billingsly

  10. WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE? • Cannot live faithful Christian life! • Disobedience to Christ! • Ignorance of the New Testament! • Creates enormous false doctrine! • Accelerated growth of denominationalism! • Caused millions to seek “justification” from sin by keeping the law of Moses. • Caused millions to “fall from grace”! Bible Studies by Dan Billingsly

  11. Deaver “Errs” With Every Argument On MMLJBC… • 1. In MMLJBC, Jesus was sent to only Old Testament Israel! • 2. God said that Jesus would be an Old Testament prophet sent to Israel “like” Moses! • 3. A “prophet” of the law of Moses! Bible Studies by Dan Billingsly

He lived according to the law, respected the law, fulfilled the law, and in his death nailed it to the cross. The Lord never at any time, or in any way, violated the Mosaic law.” Firm Found.
