“So the “scriptures” came much later is not accurate.”
Are you sure that’s what rcofdayton meant? I don’t think he was saying they were written “much later” although clearly years later is accurate. I think he is saying that the Bible wasn’t gathered into one book - especially one accessible to everyone - until much, much later.
Thus my use of scriptures and not using Bible. The implication was the written Words came much later which is inaccurate as we have evidence Paul wrote his epistles to living humans who read them in his lifetime.
