Dear Mesfin,

You quoted:

>K-H wrote:

>Further evidence that Paul
> knew Luke's Gospel was also found in 1 Tim 5.18.

Then you replied:

>What "Scripture" meant to the NT writers is none other that the Jewish
>scriptures.

HH: Maybe you are not right here, especially if K-H is right.

And 1 Tim. 5:18 seems to refer to Deut. 25:4 (LXX).

HH: But it also refers to Luke 10:7, the words of Jesus.

>Besides,
>the general consensus is that the pastoral epistles are not strong cases to
>argue on Paul's thought.

HH: Having read 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus for many years, along with the
rest of Paul's letters, I am quite comfortable with the idea that they are
what they claim to be. It is true that they are not in the Chester Beatty
Papyrus, or in Marcion's canon, but they were accepted as Scripture by the
Muratorian Fragment, Irenaeus, and Clement of Alexandria.

Yours,
Harold Holmyard
