And, whenever Peter and Paul mentions "scriptures" in the NT, they are not referring to their own writings, but they are referring to Torah. Romans 4:3, Romans 11:2, Gal. 4:30, II Tim. 3:16, 2 Peter 1:20, 2 Peter 3:16... these all say "scripture" and at the time of these writings, there was no such thing as the NT then, only the Torah scriptures, so...
The Torah was the scripture for the church of the NT.
So, indeed, our faith in the Messiah is what saves us, both OT and NT souls. |
Messiah as sacrifice for sins was not known in OT, niether was a messiah as savior. The object of OT faith was God and the scriptures as you say.
