"Man Unleashes Profanity-Filled Tirade Against Peaceful Satanists in MN Park"

Tell that to Westboro...

Oh, wait. The whole "Real Christian" thing.
There is actually a lot of warning given in the NT concerning wolves in sheep's clothing and false teachers. So I take that to indicate there really are those we are to be aware of who claim to be Christians, yet they do not belong to Christ, nor do they express His truth and love.

No, I am not bearing false witness. You explained nothing. You made statements but when I ask you a question you offer no explanation.

As I said, the verse given, (2 Timothy 3:16-17) was given with other verses to prove the Bible does declare itself the Word of God. You want to ignore what I said, and what the Bible said because what it said, shows you don't know what your are talking about when it comes to the Bible.

Problem is, the Timothy passage doesn't declare the Bible the word of God.

Sorry, but that is not good enough. If you don't do your homework post rudely you cannot expect polite behavior in return.

You failed and by your weak standards your posts were refuted. I already told you that if you had debated more seriously I would have given a more serious response.

Though an individual writing, Timothy is part of the one Book, the Bible.

Good-Ole-Rebel
Yeah. No, that's not How It Works. The various books were written independently of each other, in different times and places, by widely different people, and usually without knowledge of the other books. To pretend that the bible is a cohesive whole is nothing more than wishful thinking.

The writers were writing one Book or Letter. The Holy Spirit was writing a Book, the Bible.

This is a non-argument. It can be discounted by pointing to the history of the development of several biblical canons. There are still several canons. Additionally, it isn't "one book." It's library (hence the term "bible") of many disparate pieces of literature.

You can point to whatever you want. The Bible exists. It is one Book. It has One Author, God.

1) yes it does.
2) No, it isn't.
3) It has many authors.
4) It's attitudes like this that hinder a decent understanding of the texts and serves to undermine what the texts are.
