CREA OK, Alan, let's assume (for the moment) that 2nd Timothy 3:16 is referring to the Old Testament scriptures. So where in the Old Testament scriptures can we find the scripture passage cited in John 7:38 (I posed this question to you earlier in a posting titled "Scripture, Scripture, who's got the Scripture)? If it isn't in the OT (and it isn't) then calling this "scripture" must be wrong or else a false statement. And if John 7:38 is wrong then either the NT is errant or Jesus was unable to correctly remember what was scripture and what was not (or worse, was making it up!) -- a funny case for a man who is said to be the "God" who gave those scriptures in the first place!
