I say, if He, the Anointed of the Spirit and able to personally speak as God's own mouth, quoted the Sacred Writings and used the holy Book in His teachings, how much more should we. We who have no spirit of prophecy resting on us and are not able to speak new revelations must come back to the Law and to the Testimony and value every single Word which "The mouth of the Lord has spoken."

The same degree of reverence for the Word of God is seen in our Lord's Apostles. They treated the ancient Scriptures as supreme in authority and supported their statements with passages from the Old Testament. The utmost degree of deference and homage is paid to the Old Testament by the writers of the New.

We never find an Apostle raising a question about the degree of inspiration in this book or that. No disciple of Jesus questions the authority of the books of Moses, or of the Prophets. If you want to quibble or doubt, you'll find no sympathy in the teaching of Jesus, or anyone of His Apostles. The New Testament writers reverently sit down before the Old Testament and receive God's Words as written, without any question whatsoever.
