That's what I thought you meant, but that is taking that verse out of context.

Exactly. Just like 2 Tim 3:16 is.

That verse has to do with being steadfast and patient when dealing with trials, the trying of your faith. How will you know how much faith you have if it is never tested.

Look at the language, Becky. Much hoopla is made out of the fact that if the servant of God can be made "perfect" with Scripture that this means Scripture is sufficient.

Then, using the same language, Scripture says that steadfastness can make a man perfect.

Using the principle that Scripture interprets Scripture, either the Bible is contradicting itself when it first says Scripture is sufficient, then says that steadfastness if sufficient. Which is it?

Or it is not arguing that either Scripture or steadfastness are sufficient.

It is you are taking it out of context:) These two verses are speaking of entirely different topics.
