Re: Scriptural errors (was Hyers' Article - Cods Wallop!)

>>I simply apply your principle of interpretation to Romans 3:23 instead
of
II Timothy 3:16. If "all scripture" applies only to what was already been
collected in pre-Christian times (and I extend this to include the words
of Christ, written down even before the gospels reached final form), then
a reference to all as sinners must be restricted to those existing up to
the time of writing, about A.D. 58.>>

Oh. OK, I see your point. I have to reject it however. It is unlikely the
writer of Tim had in mind the precise 66 books which were to be
established some 250 or so years later. But in the second case it is very
likely that the writer DID have in mind all persons past, present and
future.

Thanks for the explanation though. I was really puzzled.
