the letters are written to the churches (yes "churches", not the one big church) and that's to the people in the churches everywhere at all time

No, they were written to specific (particular) churches, at a time and for a specific purpose.

Furthermore All scripture is given by inspiration of God

Furthermore All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness 2 Timothy 3:16

Judaism never treated the Torah on the same level as the rest of the OT. When the Torah is read in the synagogues everyone stands. When the Gospels are read in the Church, everyone stands. 2 Timothy doesn't say they are all equal; he is simply saying they are all good to read because they are all inspired.

Then let’s all quit reading other people’s mail. That’s against the law, ya know.

Are there varying degrees of God's truth? Are some words of God more truthful than other words of God? Are some words of God less truthful than other words of God?
