Define “Scripture” – 2 Timothy 3:14-15

Welcome to Scriptures for Life with TorahFamily.org. Taking time to focus on the Father’s way.

2 Timothy 3:14-15 "But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Messiah Yeshua."

As I’ve said before, there are two things the New Testament Church didn’t have. A New Testament and a church. Yet here we see the holy scriptures were known to Timothy since he was an infant.

So what “Holy Scriptures” were around when Timothy was just an infant? It is generally accepted that the book of James was the first book written of the New Testament in approximately 49 AD. It is also generally accepted that this book of 2 Timothy was written in approximately 67 AD. That’s only 18 years difference. Do we really believe that it was the New Testament that Paul was saying Timothy had known since infancy? Or would it be better understood that It was the books found in what many call today, the Old Testament?

Let this be a focus in your time of meditation throughout the day. Until next time, Shalom.

Shalom(Peace)

you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation.

This is the Torah, the only "Holy Scriptures" of Paul's day. The only thing Timothy would have been learning from infancy. Living the Torah makes you wise for salvation through Yeshua, since it is written of Him!

Everything must be fulfilled that is written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms.” Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures. Luke 24:45

Timothy was sanctified by faith in Yeshua, since his eyes were opened to understand the Scriptures (the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms). Paul was sent to do the same for the Gentiles.

I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those sanctified by faith in Me.’ Acts 26:17-18

May the Word dwell richly in all those of faith. Salvation in His Name. Bless the Most High!
