Thank you, Ross, for the excellent Miles Coverdale quotation and for the 
thought which you give to your messages. They serve, in part, to remind 
us that there are those in our circle of the dispensational school of 
interpretation.

I myself am not able to accept the premise that the pastoral epistles 
alone are directly relevant. It is in one of them that we read about the 
abiding relevance of all Scripture:

2 Tim. 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is 
profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in 
righteousness: 

  your brother in Jesus Christ,
