I'd be more inclined to ask why the New Testament isn't considered to be the word of God by people who go to great lengths to argue that whatever the Old Testament said is eternally true and binding.
But whenever that's asked, no Sabbatarians will admit to what their analysis amounts to.
Hi Albion,
In 2 Timothy 3:16, 17 Paul writes: "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."
Since there was no other Scripture than what we call the Old Testament then it is apparent that Paul is identifying the Old Testament Scripture as being in the present tense. No Seventh-day Adventist dismisses any of the New Testament or considers it anything less than "the Word of God." We take the Bible as a whole unit--just as Paul did.
God bless!
