Paul, the first church father, writing to Timothy, as they are founding the Christian church?
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness."
- 2 Timothy 3:16
The church must be held to God's Word, and not the other way around.
This is why the Roman Catholic church slaughtered Reformers who were distributing God's Word: it exposed them.
If all scripture is given by inspiration of God, why did protestants remove 7 books of scripture from the bible?
