“Okay, exactly where does the Bible tell you 2 Timothy is scripture?”


2Pe 3:15-16 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; (16) As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

All the epistles of Paul are considered scripture, as he claimed to be writing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. This is also true of all the writings of the Apostles or their close associates. Paul, for example, quotes the Gospel of Luke and calls it scripture.

Ok - so which Epistles count? Does 2 Peter specify them?

I asked, “exactly where does the Bible tell you 2 Timothy is scripture?” What you posted in no way answered that question.

2 Pe 3:15-16 in no way verifies that Paul wrote Timothy one letter let alone two. Nor does it mention that 2 Timothy is inspired.

So, I’ll ask AGAIN, “exactly where does the Bible tell you 2 Timothy is scripture?”
