Theology / Re: A look at 2 Timothy 3:16. The Value of God’s Perfect Word
« on: December 03, 2023, 12:29:17 PM »The author of 2 Timothy speaks of scripture. You then speak of the Bible.
Where does the author of 2 Timothy say that when he uses the word 'scripture' he means the Bible?
The Scriptures are the usual designation for books written under the inspiration of God in the New Testament. For example, in Matthew 4:10, Christ's words are quoted to Satan: "Then saith Jesus until him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve." At the same time, Jesus did not say that he was quoting the book of Deuteronomy. Moreover, the devil, seducing Jesus, did the same. He just said "it's written," not saying which book he was quoting from. Here is another example: "
Jesus saith until them, Did ye never read in the scripts, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner; This was from the Lord, And is it marvelous in our eyes?" (Matthew 21:42). Here Jesus quotes Psalm 117:22-23.
