Dear Abogado del Diablo,

The Bible. Eyewitnesses of Jesus in the New Testament.

How do you know that? Does the author state what would be on the list of "Scripture" being referred to? When was that written? What was in "the Bible" when the epistle was written?

Dear Abogado del Diablo,

I had a hunch that was where you were going with the opening question.

It appears you may have "other books" you feel are divine? Could you share the names of those books or writtings to me?

Nothing "divine" in the sense I think you mean.

Whether you believe every book of the Bible is the inspired word of God is entirely your prerogative. I've just never understood why this particular passage is cited whenever someone makes such a claim. It seems like such a non sequitor given that we don't know what the author was referring to as "Scripture", given the New Testament was still being written (including, indeed, this very epistle) it always seemed far more reasonable to assume he was talking about Jewish "Scripture."

I'm not pushing some other "scripture" here. Just curious what this passage has to do with somehow supporting the divine inspiration of the books of the N.T.That's all.

Dear Abogado del Diablo,

I would say "Jewish Scripture" (Old Testament) would be the best answer.

>I thought you might be a "Stealth" Jehovah Witness or maybe "Mormon" and I wanted to pull your cover...

Thanks for the clarification.

sorry i cant help myself LOL ,a true JW lets their light shine,

(Mark 4:21) And he went on to say to them: "A lamp is not brought to be put under a measuring basket or under a bed, is it? It is brought to be put upon a lampstand, is it not?

(Luke 11:33) After lighting a lamp, a person puts it, not in a vault nor under a measuring basket, but upon the lampstand, that those stepping in may behold the light.
(Ephesians 5:9) for the fruitage of the light consists of every sort of goodness and righteousness and truth.................a true JW would let their light shine with lots of bible truths about the established heavenly kingdom Daniel 2;44
