No you don't. You obviously did not contradict the Holy Scripture, but neither had you based your answer solely on the scripture in any meaningful way. The only reference to the inspired nature of 1 Timothy in the Holy Scripture is indirect. The reference to the Deuterocanon in 2 Timothy 3:15-16 is, as it should be obvious to you, far more direct.
Form your next post: but it is a common misunderstanding of RC’s that Protestants are total lone rangers, subject to no authority or influence of other believers. Not usually so. I respect the authority and government of my church, submit to it in the Lord, and rely quite often on the scholarship of those who have gone before me! I just don’t elevate all that to the point of infallible, that’s all.
So you submit to the authority and the government of your particular Protestant community of faith that 1 Timothy is inspired and you do not submit to the authority and the government of much older Catholic Church that the Wisdom of Solomon, for example, is also inspired. That is what it boils down to: from scripture alone you cannot conclude so.

I don’t regard the Catholic Church as the older denomination. I regard the reformed, Protestant church as the continuing church from the apostolic age.
You see, from our perspective, it’s the Roman Catholics who went wayward and left the farm, not the other way around.
