It is so weird talking to you people. You are trapped inside of your own paradigm.
Problem 1
In a nut shell you are telling me that the bible is the very word of God because the bible said so. And you fail to see the problem with that?
I will help. I'm a penguin. It is true because I said so. Is it true that I am a penguin? If not why is my circular logic false and yours it true?
Problem 2
Paul did not write 2 Tim. The majority of scholars sinse the early 1800's believe it was written after Paul's death. There are many good reasons why the majority of scholarship reached this conclusion that you will dismiss because it upsets your paradigm. But the nail in Paul's authorship here is that it was not included in the cannon of the heretic Marcion.
Problem 3
Your translation of 2 Tim 3:16 is a Christian lie.
Xenn, many times, tried to tell you peeps this.
The Real Story Behind the Translation of 2 Timothy 3:16
www.franknelte.net
The proper translation is something like "All inspired scripture is good for blah blah blah. The verbs and conjuctions and word order were changed to deliberatly change the meaning of the actual words written. Well intentioned Christians is just a spin doctors way of saying liar.-See the adultures woman.
Problem 4
When this was written, there was no New Testament. There were however, a crazy amount of Gospels and letters attributed to people that did exist at the time. Something like 68 gospels and more than that for epistles-those numbers are not exact. If Paul had written it, then scripture would be limited to Jewish scripture because there was no other scripture for the jews that was sacred at that time. The didache is the earliest known work of Christian teachings, it used to be in the New Testament. It is no longer in because your religion looks nothing like the original christian religion.
Problem 5
There is nothing in 2 Tim to indicate that the writer believed the letter he was writing was to be considered scripture. You know, like "all scripture, including this that I am writing to you dear timothy, is inspired...." Anyone can say anything.
As to Psa12: 6-7 you suffer the same problem that it is simply a man telling you this, not God. And like Paul, David is a murderer with the added bonus of being an adullteror and causing another to commit adultry. At Judgement day, we will see if Uriah will accuse David of fornicating with his wife Bathsheba and having him murdered or will Uriah just say, "ah, it's ok."
Matthew 5:25 Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you are on the way to court[
k] with him, or your accuser may hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you will be thrown into prison. 26 Truly I tell you, you will never get out until you have paid the last penny.
I mean seriosly, Moses only used his own might in getting the water and God punished him crazy hard. People live like the great and terrible day of the Lord won't effect them. Oh wait, that is your religion.
So ya, David can say whatever he wants to say, and he will answer for it all, just like we will.
