When Jesus referred to “the Scriptures,” he was talking about the Jewish Scriptures. Not one word of the New Testament had been written.

Nothing I have said questions ANY Scriptures, so it’s beside the point to point out all the Scriptures that recommend “searching the Scriptures,” etc.

But Peter could not possibly have been referring to things that had not yet been written.

If you believe that the New Testament contains 27 books, and that they are all inspired, then you are giving your assent to a decision that was made by the Pope and bishops assembled in Rome, a couple of hundred years after the completion of those writings.

Just as Holy men spoke and then wrote the scriptures, they spoke what God would have them say...

The Majority texts which which are not Roman make up my scriptures...Rome has zero to do with my bible, the bible of the Reformation...

Sorry, I have no connection to Rome...God gets all the credit...
