quotations : quotations - New Testament of Old See note
quotations - New Testament of Old :

Note "At least 295 quotations or direct references to the Old Testament have been counted in the New, a total of one verse out of every 22. If we add to this the evident allusions (613, according to C. H. Toy), the proportion reaches to about 10 percent of the New Testament text... It is at the same time very remarkable that in the entire New Testament there is not one explicit citation from the Old Testament Apocrypha, those books declared canonical in the sixteenth century by the Roman Church." Ref-0060, p. 97. Apocrypha - uninspired "Nicole estimates 295 quotations, with many more allusions-at least 10 percent of the New Testament text being Old Testament material. D. Hay counts 239 quotations that use an introductory formula, 1,600 citations of the Old Testament, and many more allusions to it." Ref-0064, p. 41.

quote - terrorism - Christianity vs. Islam :

Note "'Christians' commited acts of terror in disobedience to the word of Christ, whereas Muslims commit acts of terror in obedience to the word of Muhammed. Therefore, every war waged in the name of Christianity must be viewed by true followers of Christ as unholy, whereas every jihad waged in the name of Allah must be viewed by true followers of Islam as holy." Ref-0160, p. 21.


quotes : quotes - how NT quotes OT See note; quotes - NT quotes and allusions to non-canonical writings See note
quotes - how NT quotes OT : Isa. 7:14 (cf. Mat. 1:22 literal/literal); Isa. 29:13 (cf. Mat. 15:7-9 literal/typical); Jer. 31:15 (cf. Mat. 2:17-18 literal/application); Hos. 11:1 (cf. Mat. 2:15 literal/typical); Mic. 5:2 (cf. Mat. 2:5 literal/literal); Mat. 1:22 (cf. Isa. 7:14 literal/literal); Mat. 2:5 (cf. Mic. 5:2 literal/literal); Mat. 2:15 (cf. Hos. 11:1 literal/typical); Mat. 2:17-18 (cf. Jer. 31:15 literal/application); Mat. 2:23 (summation); Mat. 15:7-9 (cf. Isa. 29:13 literal/typical)

Note NT quotes of OT fall into 4 categories. (1) Literal/Literal = literal prophecy plus literal fulfillment. (2) Literal/Typical = literal prophecy with literal fulfillment and typological application in NT. (3) Literal/Application = literal prophecy with literal fulfillment and application to NT. (4) Summation = quotation of OT in NT which doesn't explicitly exist, but which summarizes teachings from the OT. Ref-0011, pp. 146-152 "It is estimated that there are about 300 direct quotations from the Old Testament in the New Testament." Ref-0117, p. 98. "We find in the Gospels numerous citations from and allusions to the Old Testament. The figures are: in Matthew, 128; in Mark, 63; in Luke, 96; and in John, 43; the grand total being 330 citations and allusions; and these are from at least twenty-four of the thirty-nine Books of the Old Testament." Ref-0117, p. 146.


quotes - NT quotes and allusions to non-canonical writings : Num. 22:28; Num. 24:17; Acts 17:28; 1Cor. 15:33; 2Ti. 3:8; Tit. 1:12; Jude 1:14-15

Note "The New Testament writers make use of a number of these books [Pseudepigrapha], for example Jude 1:14-15 have a possible quotation from the Book of Enoch (1:9) and the Assumption of Moses (1:9); and an allusion from the Penitence of Jannes and Jambres is found in 2 Timothy 3:8. Of course it should be remembered that the New Testament also quotes from the heathen poets Aratus (Acts 17:28); Menander (1Cor. 15:33); and Epimenides (Titus 1:12). Truth is truth no matter where it is found, whether uttered by a heathen poet, a pagan prophet (Num. 24:17), or even a dumb animal (Num. 22:28). Nevertheless, it should be noted that no such formula as 'it is written' or 'the Scriptures say' is connected with these citations." Ref-0075, p. 262. "Paul apparantly quotes the third century B.C. Stoic poet Aratus of Soli who appears to be quoting from a hymn to Zeus by the poet Cleanthes." Ref-0105, p. 341. In Acts 17:28, Paul refers to a writing by Cretan poet Epimenides concerning Zeus (or Jupiter): 'They fashioned a tomb for thee, Oh Holy and High One. The Cretans, always liars, evil beasts, idol bellies. But thou art not dead, thou livest and abidest forever for in thee we live and move and have our being.' Here Paul also quotes Aratus, a Stoic poet, wrote Ta Phainomena in which he says of Zeus: 'We are his offspring.' Ref-0100, Tape 16:B.
