Doc Bill?

The 2 Tim verse is the only one I have generally seen used to support inerrancy.

I can't find it at this time but we have had this discussion in the past with doctrbill. The Greek word translated as scripture is graphe. Graphe simply means writings. This puts a whole new spin on 2 Tim. ALL writings are inspired and useful for teaching?

I hope Doc Bill sees this and steps in, but I believe he asserted that Paul quoted non-canonical writings as well as pagan sources.

I will look for Doc's posts on this topic.

Re: Doc Bill?

The OP is by Doc and so starts the discussion of inerrancy but this
Message 21 is the part I wanted to address.

...Whatever he found profitable for teaching, reproof, correction and instruction in righteousness ...
And he demonstrated, by example, what that meant to him.
He quoted the Septuagint which Jews reject.
He quoted apocryphal books which Protestants reject.
He quoted Pagan poets (such heresy!).
Paul employed these scriptures as if they were inspired, utilizing them in circumstances which HE had designated appropriate to the use of inspired scripture.

Re: Doc Bill?

Oddly enough I think that Christians would consider the copious published Christian books to be inspired by God and profitable for teaching, etc. and yet they are not considered scripture.

Considering the number of people who get Paradise Lost and The Bible mixed up, I'd say many have no clue just what they ARE calling inspired.
