Perhaps it would serve you to re-read what I wrote. The Bible, as a single volume, didn’t exist until the Council of Nicea decreed what was canonical, and what wasn’t.

Certainly, the Pentatuch, and the other books of the Old Testament existed. And certainly, anything held to be canonical is believed to be the inspired word of God.

Nothing can diminish what was written in Timothy, yet your interpretation is way off. While the books of Scripture do serve every purpose written of, this was a letter, a single letter, just like 1Timothy. The Epistles, Revelations, and all other books of the New Testament were not seen as one text until, again, after the canon was declared.

Regardless of what I show, verses I point to, the writings of Church Fathers, none of these will you believe. You are set in your ways, and determined to promote assertions which are incorrect.

I don’t know to which branch of Christianity you feel closest to, and thus I don’t claim to be an expert on those beliefs. However, as a practicing Catholic, without exception, I can tell you that your presentation is way off.

You are struggling to justify the errant doctrines of Rome. Please tell me which of those errant doctrines you can find in the Scripture. Rome has left the very book that it pretends to have delivered to the world.
