I just rewatched DVD 2 teaching 1 on eternity past.  This is jam packed and I think it only possible to  comprehend in multiple viewings.  Whew!

A few impressions:
1. Ware makes a mistake in not seeking the whole counsel of Scripture.

2. Ware is too much of a Greek thinker and not enough of a Hebrew thinker to correctly handle Scripture written almost entirely by Hebrews.

1Ti 1:5
The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.

1Ti 1:6 Certain persons, by swerving from these, have wandered away into vain discussion,

1Ti 1:7 desiring to be teachers of the law, without understanding either what they are saying or the things about which they make confident assertions.

In my understanding, law in the above is Torah or God’s (whole) teaching, but certainly at least refers to the OT/Tanakh.  The NT sits on the OT like the second story of a building sits on the first.  As Ware demonstrates, it is very possible to misunderstand some NT texts when they are divorced from the OT foundations on which they rest.
