Well, nobody gets out of bed, putting their shoes on the right feet, and then goes to their Bible to study the material with the idea of "wrongly" dividing the word of truth, but that is exactly what happens if you are not heeding to the instruction given by the Apostle Paul to us operating in this present dispensation of the Grace of God.
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Everybody that is engaged in studying the Word of God sincerely believes they are following this instruction, and the truth is, they are not. We can all agree that the Bible contains both Old Testament scriptures and New Testament scriptures, and of course that is one point of division in the Bible. Herein lies the problem. The publishers of all versions of the Bible has placed within the pages of God's Word two uninspired pages, one saying OLD TESTAMENT, the other saying NEW TESTAMENT. Unfortuneatly, both pages are placed in the wrong location.
Almost all, if not all Bibles have a page before Genesis 1:1 that says "OLD TESTAMENT", which could not be possible knowing that the old testament does not begin for another 59 chapters in Exodus 19 when God makes the Old Covenant with the children of Israel. Here is my suggestion, put that page in your Bible that says "OLD TESTAMENT" between your thumb and index finger and tear it out, place it between Exodus 18 and 19 , then you will have a correct placement of that page.
Likewise, when you turn to Mathew 1:1, the previous page placed in your Bible , not by God, but by a publishing company, says "NEW TESTAMENT", and once again, this cannot be correct knowing the content of Hebrew 9:15-17 which declares a testament is in force after men are dead, it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. Apparently, the publishers have missed this Bible truth, placing the page indicating the NT at the birth of , instead of after the death of the testator which is Jesus Christ. Once again, take the page saying "NEW TESTAMENT" between your thumb and index finger and tear it out. This time, tear it into four equal pieces, place one piece in Mathew 27, one piece in Mark 15, one piece in Luke 23, and the last piece in John 20. At this point, you have corrected an egregious error in your Bible. Not an error in God's inspired, perfectly preserved words, but that which was placed by the publisher.
Have you figured out what has just happened? Mathew, Mark, Luke and John are declared OT. not by me, but by the authority of God's word. Have you been going to these books claiming it to be doctrine for us today in this present dispensation of the Grace of God when in truth it is OT doctrine for Israel? Is your church or denomination named after an OT law abiding Jew who never one day in his life heard or knew anything about the Gospel of the Grace of God wherein we have our salvation today? Are you claiming to be a John 3:3 "born again" believer when in fact, if you are saved today, you are a "new creation"? Something "again" cannot be the same as something that is "new", they are even spelled differently! Is your salvation of the Jews? as stated in John 4:22, or is your salvation based upon you being good as declared in John 5:29? That does not say the same thing as Ephesians 2:8-9 or Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
In order not to give you an informational overload, I will end this post here. The next post will deal with "rightly dividing the word of truth" as stated in 2 Timothy 2:15 . Clearly, there is within the pages of your Bible, OT and NT, what most people overlook is a third section of scripture which is neither OT or NT , but that which was kept secret from the foundation of the world but NOW is made manifest!.....I will attempt to demonstrate what it is, where it is, and why it matters. If you are saved today, it is the result of what is written within those pages!
Romans 16:25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
