There you have it! Only scripture is assigned those tasks.

Being equiped for good works by reading the old Testament is not a definition of Authorative.

You thought wrong. Here’s the Scripture you left out:

"But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. "16 2 Tim 3:14-15

Now lets look at context and reality:

1. This was written to Timothy
2. Timothy was born in 17 AD
Therefore, the Scripture Paul is referring to is The Old Testament. Paul was telling Timothy that Christ fulfilled the promises of the Old Testament, and Timothy could be assured of his faith in Christ.

The apostles never assumed that the one Church established by Christ would later be replaced by a book. Christ never ordered the Apostles to write anything.

No.

All that Yeshua has fulfilled is the spring feasts.

75% remains to be fulfilled.

Torah is the gospel of the kingdom, then, now and until the end of the universe. That is what Yeshua emphatically asserted in Matthew 5, and he never lied.

Torah is our “instruction in righteousness.”

Scripture always meant the Tanach in the NT.

Well why did they write it down then???

So Jesus expected the NT apostles and disciples were to keep all that info in their heads and pass that on from generation to generation...

What in the world did your religion waste its time for inventing the canon of scripture when none of it is legitimate???

Why does your religion have a written catechism when it is not needed???

Why was the OT written down under the authority of God but he would neglect to have the NT written down??? How do you guys come up with these completely ridiculous statements???
