Good point.
And, I believe, in this case we will also see great difficult in seeing or acknowledging that Jesus and Holy Scripture are not exactly the same thing.

Well, that is something you can take to the bank, lol.
Not just great difficulty, but an impossibility.
The reason is that when we dispute what they tell us Scripture is and means, they can then post in all caps that we don’t believe Jesus, God’s Word is the final authority.
It boggles my mind that even when presented with the Scripture by John that not all that Jesus said and did is recorded in Scripture, they still dispute that there was more to know about Him and about us as His followers.
Scripture never claims that ALL of Truth is contained within itself. Instead, Scripture says that ALL that is Scripture is true and beneficial for our salvation.
This is their “rock” and if the claim of being led by the Holy Spirit is their only defense. For, if all that is needed is the Holy Spirit to interpret Scripture, then why is so much time devoted to explaining the various Greek and Hebrew words and culture used in the originals.
That of course leads to the new argument, which version and interpretation is the “FINAL AUTHORITY”?
The discourse here is never going to be anything more than a recycling and rehash of prior discussions and if one thinks it can be anything more, then one is at the very least, naive and at the most, delusional.
My own faith grows stronger with all the discussion and study and that is why I enjoy it here. When that ends, so will my time here.
