“Where is that written?

Matthew 4:4, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.”

“the sacred writings ... are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus” (2 Tim. 3:15).

John 17:17, “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.”

2 Timothy 3:16-17, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.”

We agree that the scripture (at least the books we all consider canonical) is necessary for salvation, is truth and can ve a vehicle of sanctifying grace, and is “profitable” for the clergy to round off their education.

Where is it written that “all things necessary to become a Christian, live as a Christian, and grow as a Christian are clearly presented in the Bible”? Where, for example, is it written that the Bible contains one book but not another? Re-read the article, please - you can do better than that.
