Oi-vey...
The word for scripture in the greek simply means writtings. The OT did not contain the writtings about Christ, salvation/The Gospel Paul is referencing. Therefore he is referencing the letters he himself has written. Those same letters became biblical cannon hence the term 'scripture' in the english.
Quote:Way to completely miss the point! Paul's letters were canonized long after his death, therefore he could not possibly reference the 'canon of scripture.'
Quote:As to your claim that Paul was talking about his own writings - there is not enough facepalm in the world. No Jew (and Paul was nothing if not a good Jew) in 1st-century Palestine would have referred to Holy Scripture and meant anything other than the Hebrew Ketuvim. Your ignorance is appalling.
Oh, and learn to spell "oy." Nu, nu, nu.
Someone should have told Paul that because He references "The letter he had written with his own Hand" in Galations 6.
You seem to be confusing two different verses. In Galations (What we are actually talking about) the letter written was identified by the greek word γράφω, Transliteration:graphō

In 2Tim 3:16 the word is Paul uses the word γραφή: Transliteration graphē It means anything written. (It can also mean the Holy Writtings or what your identifying as OT scripture.)
http://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexi...1124&t=KJV
http://www.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm...nc_1128016
So again we know them as Holy scripture, but to Paul and those he was writting to they are simply known as scripture. Paul, referenced His own writtings and directions when concerning the church.

It's real simple.
Can you really burden the responsibility to give such specific advice how people avoid going to Hell? I mean, are you really sure that you're not missing some technical detail and sending droves to eternal damnation?
yuuup.

I know Homer Could not read the OP, but I would think if you were going to comment in a given thread you would at least read the opening post so as not to appear ignorant of the subject being discussed.
