You are too kind.
2 Timothy 3:16-17: “16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
What does God-breathed mean? You haven't answer thus far; perhaps you will answer now. Does it mean dictated, like the Torah was, but not the Tanakh? If the Tanakh is not dictated, then not all Scripture was dictated was it? Did God dictate Luke? Did He dictate the Revelation of John? Let's have it.
Not written by the Roman Catholic Church. Get it? Not AUTHORED by anyone other than God Almighty.
The Tanakh was not authored by God. Neither (expressly) was Luke. Or Revelation. Now what do you have?

And, it means I’m done with you as your heart is hardened against God’s truth. For that, I’m saddened. But I pray He will open your eyes and ears, soften your heart, and call you to belief.
Best wishes, FRiend. You need them.

Just what DO you believe is authoritative in regard to knowing God?
