So I read an article by Derek Rishmawy, Ph.D. student at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, on the coherence of Scripture (http://derekzrishmawy.com/2015/11/10...-of-scripture/) and thought it was really good. One thing though that stood out as problematic to me was his appeal to Jesus quoting scripture to Satan and His other opponents to correct their "scripture twisting". However, examples abound of the NT author's, and even Jesus Himself quoting OT verses out of context to make their point/case and could therefore likewise be accused of twisting Scripture. Since I haven't spent any time researching the NT's use of the OT, the only response I can muster at this point is: Well, He was God and they were Apostle's so they have the unique right and authority to properly piece together Scripture even if it may seem contextually erroneous to us.
A little help?
