That statement “all scripture is profitable “ was written before the gospel of john was written.

What do you describe as scripture and on what basis do you include those books?

Whoa! I’ve been working on this puzzle for a lot of years. This could be a long conversation. I start by assuming that God is the author of the Bible. If it is not true, evidence will show it, but we expect to find God’s fingerprints everywhere.

The prophetic character of scripture, the numerical structure, and creation itself are evidence. I don’t have proof, only evidence. I believe we have the scripture as God delivered it to us. Scripture cannot be broken but Satan will try to break it always. I will give you a question about scripture.
Galatians 3:8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
What is this scripture preaching to Abraham before the Bible was written? If God is the author and he sees the end from the beginning, then it was written from the beginning. Are you saying that the Gospel of John is not included in the profitable part of scripture because it was written after?
