Hi guys I'm part of a bible study on Monday nights and we are reading through John resingers " Abrahams four seeds". However, I have been having a lot of objections to the book and one of them is the hermeneutic. The leader of our group was trying to explain to me that the apostles left behind for us a hermeneutic in the New Testament, which is that the new interprets the old. (They give examples of acts where Peter says that Joel 2 is being fulfilled there in their midst and Hebrews 8 where the writer says when God says he is making a new covenant with house of Israel, he means the church) now I have no problem with the NT writers re interpreting the old, however I think it's the exception not the rule, right? I'm sorry if I'm a bit confusing but after last nights meeting I left so confused that I felt like giving up on the whole book. Has anyone dealt with NCT before? Thanks guys
