But if we accept the truth of 2 Timothy 3:16-- All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: as well as Paul's assertion that he received his revelation from Christ directly; there is no merit in the contention that Paul "added to the scriptures" in an improper manner. |
I just started "How to read the Bible for all its worth" - Gordon Fee and Douglas Stuart.
