[Campion]

Timothy was a young Pastor of the church and was having trouble because of his youth with his preaching and teaching. Paul was giving him, and by extension, us the encouragement that it isn't our age education, personality, or style that makes one wise unto salvation but the Word of God as illuminated by the Holy Spirit.

Which is fine, but you can't get from there to "you only need the Bible, you don't need the church or sacraments". Timothy had all three.

Prove it from the Scriptures.
