We find the Bible assuming itself to be the Word of God in the special terms that it uses to describe itself. In this blog series\u2019 fifth installment, we consider a few more of these terms: \u201cMoses and the Prophets\u201d, \u201cThe Oracles of God\u201d, and \u201c’Covenant’ (Testament).\u201d<\/p>\n
10. Moses And The Prophets<\/strong><\/p>\n The Old Testament is also called Moses and the prophets.<\/p>\n Abraham replied, “They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them” (Luke 16:29<\/a>).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n 11. The Oracles Of God<\/strong><\/p>\n Another term for the holy writings is the Greek word\u00a0logion.<\/em>\u00a0This is a diminutive form of the Greek word\u00a0logos<\/em>\u00a0and means “an oracle, divine response, or utterance.” It is used of the sacred writings in\u00a0Romans 3:2<\/a>and\u00a0Acts 7:38<\/a>. Paul wrote.<\/p>\n Much, in every way. for in the first place the Jews were entrusted with the oracles of God (Romans 3:2<\/a>).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n In the Book of Acts we read.<\/p>\n He is the one who was in the congregation in the wilderness with the angel who spoke to him at Mount Sinai, and with our ancestors; and he received living oracles to give to us (Acts 7:38<\/a>).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n 12.Covenant (Testament)<\/strong><\/p>\n The word “covenant,” or “testament,” is also used for the sacred Scripture. The Greek word\u00a0diatheke<\/em>\u00a0translated “testament,” means, “covenant, contract, or will.” It is used to distinguish between the Old and New Covenants\u2014 the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Apostle Paul wrote about reading the old covenant.<\/p>\n
