"Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us-- for it is written, "CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO HANGS ON A TREE " Gal 3:13. This is quoted from Deut 21:23 and Paul tells us this was Messianic. "his corpse shall not hang all night on the tree, but you shall surely bury him on the same day (for he who is hanged is accursed of God), so that you do not defile your land which the LORD your God gives you as an inheritance."

Ok again hermit...That's the New Testament teaching the old...that makes my argument more likely than yours 
And if the New Testament didn't teach you, do you really think you would read this as Christ Jesus?
De 21:22 And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree:
23 His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.

Its shadows and types hermit... and again your using the New Testament.... to make your point and apart from the knowledge of Christ we would not know what He said was true.
Joh 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Joh 6:32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
Joh 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Joh 6:32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
I guess I really do not understand what you are looking for. The point I am making is that the information IS in the OT and was presented in such a way that even though it was shadow and type, Jesus said they should have known. It looks to me like what you are saying is that there was no way thy could have know from the OT. If this is what you are suggesting then clearly you are in disagreement with Jesus and the rest of the NT.

Well that's not the point... and I have not even suggested the Old does not testify in type and shadow...the law does not directly teach Christ...and even the Lord told Peter no one could know He was the Christ unless God showed them... But no doubt the old testament testifies of Christ...but the writings Timothy would have used to be taught Faith and salvation in Christ would have been New Testament writings with the Old bearing witness...that's the point Im making.
When the Jews of Matthew 12 heard Jesus teaching they concluded based on his teaching that this must be the Son of David. The only way they could have come to that conclusion would have been if they was been sufficiently acquainted with the OT scriptures that they were able to recognize the Son of David when he came. They knew what the scriptures said about him and were able to properly reify what they heard form Jesus when they compared it to their expectations of him that were drawn from those scriptures. Yes, Christ was taught from the OT.
The Jews of Matt 12 knew it and they did not have the NT yet. Even the Samaritan woman in John 4 knew that a Messiah was coming and being a Samaritan, she only knew it from the Pentateuch. The Samaritans only accepted the first five books. She eventually concluded that this Jesus she was talking to was "THE prophet" of Deut 18. The NT did not even exist yet. Your arguments are complete nonsense.

Again I admit shadows and types, but no direct teaching in the Old Testament of salvation through Faith in Jesus Christ, and that teaching would have been New Testament doctrine, and Paul used the term for writings and not the term he used for scripture ...In context of what he was writing about it was most likely New Testament writings he was at least in part referring to.
