“Two you’ve either never read or freely choose to ignore.”


And another you’ve probably never read, which brings the focus back to the scripture itself, and away from people who self-proclaim their own authority.

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

Ok who decides what constitutes Scripture then? Surely, if you believe in scripture alone in order for their to be doctrinal agreement, there must be agreement on this point first.

I suggest you carefully and slowly read the following again.

"Understanding this first, that no prophecy of scripture is made by private interpretation. For prophecy came not by the will of man at any time: but the holy men of God spoke, inspired by the Holy Ghost." 2 Peter 1:20-21

"And account the longsuffering of our Lord, salvation; as also our most dear brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, hath written to you: As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are certain things hard to be understood, which the unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction." 2 Peter 3:15-16

You do realize exactly who St. Paul was instructing in your citation, or don't you?
