But, FRiend... the Bible doesn't SAY that! If you trust the Bible so much, then why make up unbiblical stuff like this?

And that from a child you have known the holy scriptures, which are able to make you wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.2 Tim 3:15

And that from a child you have known the holy scriptures, which are able to make you wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.2 Tim 3:15

Now let’s look at context and reality:
1. This was written to Timothy
2. Timothy was born in 17 AD
Therefore, the Scripture Timothy knew from infancy and what Paul is referring to is The Old Testament. The New Testament wasn't written at the time of Timothy’s infancy.

Okay... so: where does the word "ALONE" appear in that verse? You do remember that the word "ALONE" is the bone of contention (in the sense that the Scriptures ALONE are all one needs for all this), right? No faithful and well-informed Catholic would deny that the Scriptures are USEFUL and NECESSARY... but no sane person would deny what St. Peter writes in 2 Peter 3:16-17, where he warns that people are capable of distorting the Scriptures, unto their own destruction. Merely having the Scriptures is no "bullet-proof guarantee" of salvation; one can still have them, and suffer destruction. More is needed... and the Bible clearly lists many of these additional necessities: love (1 Corinthians 13), perseverence/endurance (Matthew 10:22 and 24:13), corporal works of mercy (Matthew 25:31-46), and dozens more.
