  of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are a part of the
  New Testament.

How Shall We Interpret The Bible?

• Not by book, chapter and verse!
• Not by a verse here and there!
• By whole and complete covenants!
• To interpret by covenant, we must understand
  where each covenant begins and ends!
• Acts 2 - Revelation 22 is the whole and complete
  New Testament!

4
How Shall We InterpretThe Bible?

• Not by an undivided concordance!
• Not by incorrect and unscriptural Bible helps!
• Not by sectarian and denominational commentaries,
  study outlines!
• Not by brotherhood error among churches of Christ!

5
How Shall We Interpret The Bible?

• By Covenant!
• By Text And Context!
• Which covenant was/is in force during each book,
  chapter and verse.
• Each covenant must be interpreted by the teaching
  within the same covenant.
• All New Testament doctrine is in the new covenant
  of Acts 2 through Rev. 22!

3 Covenant AgesMust Not Mix-Combine Doctrine!
Patriarchal Age Adam-Abraham Different covenants
made with various families Genesis
1 thru Exodus 19 History
Mosaical Age Moses-Christ One covenant made with
one nation-Israel Exodus 20 - Matt. 27 Mk. 15 Lk.
23 Jn. 19 History
New Testament Age Christ - Apostles to
Today One New Covenant made with church Acts 2
- Revelation 22 Only covenant in force today!
Mt 28 Mk 16 Lk 24 Jn 20 Acts 1

WHAT IS THE ISSUE?

• Not the inspiration of the Scriptures!
• Not the number of books in the Bible!
• Not the basic doctrine of the church!
• It is the 1486 AD Roman Catholic division of the
  books of the Bible into the Old and New
  Testaments.
• It is the moving of MMLJBC from the Old to the
  New Testament!

Deaver Errs With Every Argument On MMLJBC

• 1. In MMLJBC, every word was authored by Jehovah
  for only Israel!
• 2. In MMLJBC, Jesus was sent as last O.T.
  prophet to only Israel!
• 3. In MMLJBC, God spoke to only Israel through
  Jesus the last prophet of the O.T. -- the
  Messiah!
• Deaver errs - for MMLJBC was not for worldwide
  consumption!

9
Traditionalists demand to pick and choose...

• New Testament doctrine in MMLJBC!
• Do they have special and secret powers to
  interpret between Christs teaching of Old
  Testament law of Moses and New Testament doctrine
  in MMLJBC.
• Tell us, brethren, where in the Scriptures is the
  rule you use to separate between old and new
  covenant teaching in MMLJBC, and then pick and
  choose only inspired New Testament doctrine?

10
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?

• Cannot live faithful Christian life!
• Disobedience to Christ!
• Ignorance of the New Testament!
• Creates enormous false doctrine!
• Accelerated growth of denominationalism!
• Caused millions to seek justification from sin
  by keeping the law of Moses.
• Caused millions to fall from grace!

11
Deaver Errs With Every Argument On MMLJBC

• 1. In MMLJBC, Jesus was sent to only Old
  Testament Israel!
• 2. God said that Jesus would be an Old Testament
  prophet sent to Israel like Moses!
• 3. A prophet of the law of Moses!

12
Jesus Was Born, Lived, And Taught Under O.T.
Law

• The Lord was born under the law of Moses (Gal.
  44)He came to fulfill the law (Mt. 517). He
  lived according to the law, respected the law,
  fulfilled the law, and in his death nailed it to
  the cross. The Lord never at any time, or in any
  way, violated the Mosaic law. Firm Found. Roy
  Deaver, p. 7, December 24, 1985

13
Mission Of Jesus Christ Under Two Different
Covenants...

• Before the cross
• In MMLJBC
• Jesus was the Messiah-Savior of only Israel under
  the Old Testament law of Moses

• After the cross
• In Acts 2 - Rev. 22
• Jesus is the Savior of the world under the New
  Testament law of Christ

  revelation.
• They were Gods words of the law placed in the
  mind and mouth of Christ!
• and will put my words in his mouth and he shall
  speak unto them all that I shall command him
  (Deut. 1818).
• Jesus said nothing of his own N.T. will in
  MMLJBC! Spoke only Gods O.T. will!

• All revelation of O.T. prophets belonged to
  O.T. law of Moses. None belongs to New Testament.

21
If Roy Deaver Was Right, Then Jesus Taught Only
The Law In MMLJBC!

• Under the penalty of sin and death, Jesus could
  only have preached the law of Moses while under
  the law of Moses in MMLJBC!
• Deut. 42 Ye shall not add unto the word that I
  command you, neither shall ye diminish aught from

  children of God in Israel!

  till all be fulfilled.

  45Then opened he their understanding, that they
  might understand the scriptures, 46And said unto
  them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved

  third day 47And that repentance and remission of
  sins should be preached in his name among all
  nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

  after the customs.

57
When Did The Old Testament End?

• Romans 320-22 Therefore by the deeds of the
  law there shall no flesh be justified in his

  upon all them that believe for there is no
  difference.

58
When Did The Old Testament End?

• Romans 101-4 1Brethren, my hearts desire and
  prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be
  saved. 2For I bear them record that they have a
  zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 3For
  they being ignorant of Gods righteousness, and
  going about to establish their own righteousness,
  have not submitted themselves unto the
  righteousness of God. 4For Christ is the end of
  the law for righteousness to every one that
  believeth.

59
When Did The Old Testament End?

• Galatians 216 16Knowing that a man is not
  justified by the works of the law, but by the

  justified.

• 9And be found in him, not having mine own

  which is through the faith of Christ, the
  righteousness which is of God by faith.

61
When Did The Old Testament End?

• Hebrews 86-7 6But now hath he obtained a more
  excellent ministry, by how much also he is the
  mediator of a better covenant, which was
  established upon better promises. 7For if that

  place have been sought for the second. 8For
  finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the
  days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new
  covenant with the house of Israel and with the
  house of Judah

62

66
The Scriptures Teach

• The Bible is rightly divided into separate
  covenants and covenant ages.
• Each covenant must be interpreted by what it
  teaches, not by what another covenant teaches!
• Old Covenant teaching of the law of Moses between
  Exodus 20 and John 19 is never New Testament
  doctrine!

67
WhenWere MMLJBC Written?

• Most agree about 55-65 AD.
• This means that this O.T. information was not
  preached during the book of Acts.
• This means that MMLJBC was not a part of Christs
  New Testament gospel.
• This means that MMLJBC was not a part of Christs
  New Testament faith during the first 35 years
  of N.T. history.

68
The Scriptures Teach

• If a doctrine or teaching is not revealed,
  recorded and printed in the New Testament of
  Acts 2 through Revelation 22, it is not New
  Testament doctrine.
• New Testament scriptures do not produce/create
  human traditions!
• Human traditions deny and blaspheme the New
  Testament of Christ! They produce denominational
  sectarianism!

69
The Most Misunderstood Page In The Bible...

• 1st time in history, in 1486 AD the Roman
  Catholic church inserted a New Testament title
  page between the books of Malachi and Matthew to
  divide between the Old and New Testaments.
• This false title page denies/contradicts
  teaching in the apostles doctrine and really
  wrongly divides between the Old and New
  Testaments.

• HARDING GRADUATE SCHOOL OF RELIGION The sort of

  likely to be found in the set T.D. Darlow and

  Gutenburg Bible (1455 AD) did not have a title
  page. Our copies of the Sinaiticus (4th century)

  have a New Testament title page.

• OKLAHOMA CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY The first Title
  Page to the Bible was added in 1486 to a Latin
  Bible published by Pruss of StrassburgThe
  authority for its insertion was that of the
  printer. Second, there were no title sheets in
  the oldest and best manuscripts. The first known
  examples of an entire Bible in book form come
  from around AD 350 (and included the Apocrypha in
  the Old Testament like 1st and 2nd Macabees,
  Tobit, Judith, and additional books in the New
  Testament like the Epistle of Barnabus, Shepherd
  of Hermas, and Teaching of the Twelve Apostles.)

  ever celebrated in Israel (Mt. 2626).
• At that time he prophesied of the coming N.T.
  Lords supper (Lk. 2218).
• Lords supper remembers the death of Christ
  -- he had not died in Matt. 26 -- therefore Matt.
  26 was not N.T. doctrine!
• First observance of the Lords supper was in
  Acts 2.

76

  while I was yet with you, that all things must be
  fulfilled, which were written in the law of
  Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms,
  concerning me. 45Then opened he their
  understanding, that they might understand the
  scriptures (Lk.. 2444).

78
When Did The New Testament Age Begin?

• And that repentance and remission of sins should
  be preached in his name beginning at Jerusalem
  (Lk. 2447).
• This means that the New Testament age did not
  begin in Matthew1, Mark 1, Luke 1 or John 1!
• According to the Scriptures, the New Testament
  age and revelation of New Testament doctrine
  began in Acts 2!

79
What Did Jesus TeachIn Luke 1616?

• Luke 1616 The law and the prophets were until
  John since that time the kingdom of God is
  preached, and every man presseth into it. 17And
  it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than
  one tittle of the law to fail.
• Matt. 1113 For all the prophets and the law
  prophesied until John. After John, Jesus said...
  
• Matt. 514 one jot or one tittle shall in no
  wise pass, till all be fulfilled.

80
What Did Jesus TeachIn Luke 1616?

  the Old Testament prophecy of the law and the
  prophets -- but they did not understand these old

  prophecies concerning the demise and end of
  Israel.

  when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard
  his parables, they perceived that he spake of
  them (Mt. 2145).

83
The Old Testament Parables Of Christ...

• Christ did not intend for that last generation
  in Israel to understand his parables. to know
  the mysteries of the kingdomto them it is not
  given (Mt. 1311).

  of Israel, prophecies of the nature of the new
  covenant kingdom -- not to the revelation of
  N.T. doctrine!

84
Purpose Of Christs O.T. Parables- Prophecies...

• If the purpose of the parables was to reveal
  New Testament doctrine, why would Christians need
  to study the mysteries of the parables in
  MMLJBC -- when the clear and complete revelation
  of all mysteries in the parables is now
  revealed in Acts 2 through Revelation 22?

  through Revelation 22, neither Christ, the Holy
  Spirit nor the apostles quoted one verse of his
  teaching from MMLJBC as his revelation of New

  things, yea, the deep things of God. 11For what

  words which mans wisdom teacheth, but which the
  Holy Ghost teacheth comparing spiritual things
  with spiritual.

  judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of
  no man. 16For who hath known the mind of the
  Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the
  mind of Christ.
