Again, something is called, in Scripture, "useful" or "profitable," and you think that means that it is "all we need.

No, I say it is all we need because of the "throughly furnished" part.

In the James verse, we PROVE we are throughly funished by our handling of the trying of our faith. Becky

Again, do you only ned a couch to "thoroughly furnish" a house?

Scripture says that itself is "useful" for being "thoroughly furnished." That's all.

Do you understand the difference between something being essential and somethign being sufficient? Cause all this Scripture says is that Scripture is essential, that with it a man may be mad perfect. You bring your preconceived notions into the text here, instead of reading what it says.

I'll try again, headlights and turnsignals are useful so that a car may be thoroughly equipped. Does this sentence mean that a car need only have headlights and turnsignals? Doesn't a car also need, wheels, and engine, brakes, etc?

In the James verse, we PROVE we are throughly funished by our handling of the trying of our faith.

Is the sentence structure the same as in 2 Tim or not?
