It would be refreshing to see a bit of logical thought follow the Scriptural quotes...for example the apostle Paul told Timothy that the church was a pillar and ground of the truth. (1 Tim. 3:15) but why go that next step and show what that “truth” was?
“Your word is truth”, said Jesus (John 17:17) referring to the Hebrew or OT Scriptures.
So for this thread that's already more than I intended. Cheers!
Which is why Jesus left a book catalog telling people which books were inspired.
