Scripture Interprets Scripture

One of the things I want to communicate to my daughter and to anyone who's reading and studying the Bible is that scripture interprets scripture. We can't pull a verse out of Romans and decide that it means 'this' if that meaning doesn't line up with Yeshua's own words in the gospel accounts or if that meaning doesn't line up with scriptures from the Old Testament. Paul would never have contradicted Yeshua or the Old Testament writings. Neither would Peter or James or John. Therefore, if a verse in the Apostolic Scriptures seems to negate the Torah, we'd better double-check our interpretation of it. Either Paul is a deceiver or we've misinterpreted a lot of his writings, because Paul could not have written that the Torah has been done away with since Yeshua said that it had not (Matthew 5:17-19). Paul's enemies accused him of not teaching Torah, whereas he said that he was innocent of their charges, which would mean that he did teach Torah. I think that there are a lot of things written in the New Testament that we do not correctly interpret because we forget to look at these things in context: historically, culturally, and scripturally--with the only Scriptures at that time being the Old Testament, i.e. the Law and the Prophets. I think Paul would be very surprised at the interpretation the Christian Church has put on his writings, divorcing itself from all things "Jewish". I think Paul's expectation was that Gentiles who came to faith in the Messiah would be added to Israel, not replace Israel. More another day...
