[What defines “scripture”?]
All Scripture is God-breathed and has never been refuted.
It is authored by Jesus Christ, Who is the Word. (John 1) Each Book is God-breathed through God’s chosen vessels, mighty men of God, who were directed by the Holy Spirit.
With all due respect, I see nothing where Jesus authored these books. Most were written 50 to 100 years after he rose from the dead. Show me where Jesus wrote any of these books in the New Testament. If they have errors ,like Matthew 1 vs Luke 3:23 which one was right?
[I see nothing where Jesus authored these books.]
JESUS is the Word. All Scripture is inspired through the Word.
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome[a] it.
the “word ‘inspired the Word.? Which books do you see as having been left out 363 years after Christ birth when the Council of Laodicea did it’s thing? Were they God Breathed? Should one worship the Bible? After the Council, many books were questioned— Hebrews, John 1 and 2 ( neither written by John). Especially James!! BTW Are we saved by works or Saved as a gift by grace through belief in Christ as the Son Of God? Cant be both ways. Even Revelation was not accepted by many scholars. In fact John is not believed to be written by John. Over 3000 manuscripts were rejected by the council. Were they “God Breathed?
Jesus is the Word, the Word is God. All Scripture is given by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. I accept that by faith.
That sums up what I believe.
I just want to know what “scripture is”. There must be many definitions. God Bless . Nice chat.
[I just want to know what “scripture is”.]
Scripture: Also called Holy Scripture, Holy Scriptures. the sacred writings of the Old or New Testaments or both together.
The issue is — who says? The council three hundred and sixty three year after Christ? I am mot worshiping this council of humans.
Read the Bible. Ask the Holy Spirit to give you understanding. Start with an easy translation and go from there. There are sites where you can read the Bible online. Here’s a good one.

If you are earnestly seeking the Truth, you will find it. Once you know what you believe you’ll go to the right church.
Some people spend a lifetime trying to prove God, and miss the reason why they were created - to love the Lord with all their heart, mind, soul, and strength. That is the blessed life.
That’s funny. “Read the Bible” Hillarious. Good luck.
[Good luck.]
There is no such thing as luck. God has a purpose for this world. Everything that happens in our lives is somewhat a part of that plan. There are no random or chance happenings.
Was it His plan for 9/11? the Holocaust? birth defects,Christians slaughtered by moslems? I do not believe in that at all!! But go right ahead— Free country.
Was it His plan for 9/11?
God is good. Satan comes to seek, steal and destroy.
