A couple years ago, on another site, I was criticized for studying not just the first five books and calling it "Torah Study". In retrospect:
Rom 15:4 BSB For everything that was written in the past was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures, we might have hope.
Paul did not consider his own writings scripture, but:
2Ti 3:16 BSB All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
ALL scripture is Torah/instruction.

1 Kings 19:20, “Then Elisha left his oxen and ran to follow Elijah. Elisha said, “Let me kiss my father and my mother good-bye. Then I will go with you.” Elijah answered, “That is fine. Go back. I won’t stop you.” Elisha wanted to follow Elijah but there was more to this than simply saying goodbye to his parents. Elisha went to his home where he killed the oxen he was plowing with and used to yoke in the fire to cook the meat. There was no turning back at that point, there was only going forward.
We all chafe under what we perceive as overbearing leaders. Sometimes they really are overbearing, but sometimes it’s simply our resentment of and resistance against any authority. The path of wisdom is to discern which is which. We can fix our attitudes, but we may not be able to fix a bad situation with a bad leader. Then again, sometimes fixing the situation means not making it worse.

2Pe 3:16 BSB He writes this way in all his letters, speaking in them about such matters. Some parts of his letters are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.
