[A.J.Armitage]

2 Timothy 3:

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

17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

The above is from the KJV. Notice that the word "scripture" is a lower case "s" rather than an upper case "S". This means ALL THAT IS WRITTEN. An Upper case S is used in the Scriptures when it specifically refers to HOLY WRITINGS, and more specifically it is referring only to OLD Testament Scriptures, since the New Testament did not even exist at the time Christ spoke the above passages.

1. New Testament Greek had no cases.

2. Jesus didn't speak those passages, Paul wrote them. And the Pastorals are probably the last Epistles Paul wrote, so there were other New Testament books already.

Ah, paul, I stand corrected, thank you.

If, as you say, some of the New testament books were in existence at that time, and i will, for the sake of discussion take your word for it, there was still no "official" canon at that time, so it could not be applied as meaning the canon of Nicea. If you can give me the passages from the books that compose the Bible which state the authority of any such council to determine what books are Holy, and which are heretical, I would like to see them.
