Which establishes that Scripture is necessary for the man of God to be "perfect" and "thoroughly furnished unto all good works".

It does not say that it is sufficient, however.

The Greek word artios means "complete", "sufficient", "whole", "qualified". Since the Scripture has the ability to make the man of God "complete", "sufficient", "whole", "qualified" for every good work, what else do you need to make the man of God " complete", "sufficient", "whole", "qualified" "for every good work"? You admit that Scripture is necessary, so what other good works are there other than what the Scripture necessitates? Can you provide me an authoritative list of such good works that are not necessitated in Scripture?

Cordially,

See my #30, and take it from here.

I need to call it a day, and I can already see that you are *Perfectly* and *Thoroughly* Equal to the Task.

(By which I certainly mean that you are sufficiently equal to the task. No normal English-Speaking Person would doubt that such was my meaning; but, you know these Romanists.... it's necessary to their theology that Words not mean what they Say).

Best, OP
