"I don't hate the Word of God, just what some men have done with it. Then again, this too was predicted in Scripture.
In order to refute Sola Scriptura it is only necessary to read the Scripture as written and to engage in a modicum of logical thinking. The conflation of your own erroneous interpetation with "the Word of God" itself is emblematic."
And yet, there you are, attacking the Word of God as insufficient to make the man of God complete. In order for you to be faithful to Roman Catholicism, you must be unfaithful to the ability of Scripture to be sufficient to the task.
BTW, to the "modicum of lobical thinking," have you figured out that this "cocktail" the Catholics have cooked up begins with the presumption that multiple ingredients must be used to make the man of God complete which you then read into the verse in question and present to us as proof that the verse does not establish that it is Scripture Alone? Perhaps Catholic apologists have not instructed you to avoid circular reasoning.
I believe that Diamond has already pointed this out. The verse says that Scripture IS able, not Scripture + something is able, nor this and that are able. The verse speaks of Scriptures alone. And, that leaves the onus upon those who wish to denigrate Scriptures to show where this imaginary Scriptures + something makes the man of God complete.
Good luck.
Yes, that is my thesis, that the erroneous idea that Scripture is sufficient is not found in Scripture.
This is not attacking the Word of God, it is defending it from your incorrect understanding of same.

Turning my arguments around is not really that clever.
It is self-evident that Scripture is not sufficient. Don't you need faith? Don't you need wisdom and understanding?

The verse says Scripture is profitable. Not sufficient.
