***Here is one scripture that answers your question:
2Pe 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
2Pe 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the Scripture is of any private interpretation.
2Pe 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.***

It most certainly does not answer the question as to where God instructed men to write the NT (or the Old for that matter). God wrote the 10 commandments on stone tablets; Jesus wrote in the dust. That’s it.

***Are you questioning Jesus’ veracity? It is His testimony about the (OT) Scriptures to which you are referring. Given that they (the Scriptures) speak of Him (and of course, He is the author, and, as time will reveal, they and everything else are all about the Lord!) I would say that His testimony not only constitutes proof, but concludes the matter.***

It says that the testimony is there. He does not say that it is all encompassing or that that is that.

***Did He not say this (Come follow Me) to you, as well? I know He said it to me.***

Mark 1:
14
After John had been arrested, 8 Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God:
15
“This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.”
16
9 As he passed by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting their nets into the sea; they were fishermen.
17
Jesus said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
18
Then they abandoned their nets and followed him.
19
He walked along a little farther and saw James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They too were in a boat mending their nets.
20
Then he called them. So they left their father Zebedee in the boat along with the hired men and followed him.

If your name is not Peter, Andrew, James and John, then Jesus didn’t speak to you here. Where did He speak to you and when?

I guess He had been talking to me for a while. I finally heard His voice in April, 1986. I’ve been listening to Him (imperfectly) ever since.
