Re: Command or commandments?

Eph 4:11-14 KJV - [11] And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; WHY[12] For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: I, for one, WANT to be perfect. I will listen.[13] Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: I desire to be a true Christian. I will let God work on me through these men, as is His will.[14] That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; If we treat so much of the Bible that came by the hand of apostles just as a merely good advice, we will reflect v14.

2Pe 1:21 KJV - [21] For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. Here, Paul was addressing Timothy, a young minister and instructed him like this:1Ti 4:11 KJV - [11] These things command and teach.

1Cr 7:6 KJV - [6] But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.
Here Paul makes a differentiation between his wise advice and the commandment of the spirit as it moved on him to write what would become part of the Bible.

Jhn 17 [6] I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. [7] Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. [8] For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. ... [12] While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. ... [14] I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. ... [18] As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. ... [20] Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
