"What I believe is what Scripture teaches." ...but only as interpreted by the oracle in the mirror.Let me ask a question. Did Timothy understand the letters written to him by Paul?
Were the Corinthians able to read and understand the letters written to them, Theophilus understand Luke?
Are you implying that the ONLY communication between Paul and Timothy on the matter was limited to the Letters that were included in the Bible?
"Were the Corinthians able to read and understand the letters written to them, Theophilus understand Luke?"
Were all of the Corinthians saved?
