There is not one clear, comprehensive, unambiguous, direct, declarative statement in the entire Bible that teaches what you claim. You don't have to like it, but to claim otherwise is to take the name of the Lord in vain.

16All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; 17so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 NASB

When you find the phrase “and nothing else is needed,” they you can make the claim you make.

Till then, you’re just promulgating another cultic teaching.

So Paul is writing a letter to Timothy and telling him that Scripture is profitable for teaching. Sounds good.

Questions:

1) At the time Paul wrote to Timothy, his letter was not Scripture. It was simply a letter from one evangelist to another. Since the letter was not Scripture, should Timothy have paid heed to it? If I understand your argument, only Scripture and no other form of Christian counsel, is worthy of credence.

2) If I say that the Encyclopedia Brittanica is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training, does it logically follow from this that no other source of information should ever be considered or consulted? Does this mean that the Encyclopedia Brittanica is the exclusive source of all knowledge?

“All Scripture...”

I see you still don’t know the difference between ALL and ONLY.

Until you can show that you can tell the difference between ALL and ONLY, all intelligent people will continue to laugh at you.

Isn’t it amazing how lacking in biblical knowledge some are; yet are so bold in displaying it!
