The Greek word scripture, meant writings, nothing sacred.

You're saying the OT is not sacred....????

The OT was Scripture.

I think I'm beginning to see the catholic problem now. Scripture is not viewed as sacred.

1124 graphḗ – properly, writing. 1124 (graphḗ) is used 51 times in the NT – always of holy Scripture, i.e. the inspired, inerrant writings of the Bible (the 66 books of Scripture, 39 in Hebrew, 27 in Greek).

[The NT generally uses 1124 (graphḗ) for the Hebrew Scriptures (the OT) – but see also 2 Tim 3:16 and 2 Pet 3:16. 1124 (graphḗ) was used for the Hebrew Scriptures as early as Aristeas (about 130 bc; so MM).] HELPS Word-studies

If you learn nothing from our exchanges....CONTEXT is key to properly understanding the Word.

And those 'writings'; that ROME selected and assembled; are not NEARLY as SACRED as what Rome's added teachings and practices are.
