"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine..."

Why do you suppose that nearly every Protestant apologist would want you to believe that "profitable" in this verse actually means sufficient or exclusively sufficient and not merely useful? Are we to believe that St. Paul was saying that one must find Scripture either absolutely all inclusive or completely rejected?

Interesting that of all the words in those verses, you would choose "profitable" to ATTEMPT to make your point. "THOROUGHLY FURNISHED" is the point, NL. Scripture THOROUGLY FURNISHES the man of God to be a perfect workman for God.
