“So, going back to Lin and Gengwall, part of the problem for comps is they give Paul precedence over Jesus. As a preacher I heard a couple of weeks ago put it, “we have to let the epistles inform the narrative.” Huh? Oh, yeah, that means that if there’s confusion, the epistles decide what the narrative means. Does that make the Epistles the Head of the Narrative? Hm.”

Right. I heard a preacher say recently that the NT interprets the OT. Ok. But then he gave what he thought was the most important example of this: that 1 Tim 2 interprets Genesis for us and the importance of creation order for male/female relationships in church and marriage.

So this view of allowing other scripture to interpret other scripture does not help too much when the premise is wrong to begin with!
