I read the Bible straight through one summer at my grandparents house in Tulsa. More as a completionist achievement than anything else, but it comes in handy.

Like even if we take it as assumed that 2 Timothy was "God-breathed" and therefore can be used to prove all "Scripture" is God-breathed... that verse doesn't define "Scripture" at all or say what does and doesn't qualify

The Christians had constant huge big fights over this that weren't officially settled until the Canon of Trent in 1546 and even then wasn't *actually* settled (the Catholic and Protestant Bibles are different because of the "Apocrypha")

Yeah, and I mean, even the full verse there is much more ambiguous: "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."

What does it mean to be "God-breathed" after all? The Epistle only emphasizes that it's *useful* for some practical, pedagogical purposes, which is completely compatible with fiction.
