While having a chat with Henk Wouters this morning, it just dawned on me that when the writer of 2 Timothy 3:16-17 wrote "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." he was talking of the "bible" canon of his time; AKA the Old Testament.
He was writing a letter and not Scripture in his own view and therefore wouldn't have included all the other letters floating about between the churches.
We now, after the event, have taken all these letters and included it into his known Scripture and these new letters we call the New Testament. All these books are now taken as Scripture and therefore for good.
Wouldn't that be adding to the Word in the strictest sense, something that we have been warned about during that same period of time?
I'm not saying that the New Testament must be rejected, but realize that we should understand it as people's interpretation of Scripture and not Scripture itself. Does that make sense or am I missing the boat completely here?

Thought for Today: Thursday February 13
Parents! As your children grow older, they become more responsible for the decisions they make in life; You should not take upon yourself all the blame if those decisions are bad. BUT your failures do have an impact on them, making them more open to foolish and evil ways. Harsh, unreasonable discipline… neglect… favouritism… failure to express love… being too busy to give them attention… failure to teach them between right and wrong… all these can embitter your children and they could become discouraged. Do not let this happen in your family. And if it has, ask YHVH to forgive you and ask Him to help you reverse it as much as possible. Do not cease to pray for your children!

A reminder that the only thing a godly government does is judge and punish criminals.
There's a chiasm in Exodus 19:20 that illustrates the relationship God wants with his people. He came down to us and called us. Now he wants us to respond by willingly coming to meet him.
.A - YHVH came down on Mt Sinai
...B - On the top of the mountain
.....C - YHWH called Moses
...B - To the top of the mountain
.A - Moses went up

Mainstream Christians will take misunderstandings of the Apostle Paul's writing and interpret the entire Bible through Paul. This is the wrong approach because letters are meant to address specific people in specific circumstances which may or may not apply to us.
I'm not sure how to express this, but I think that different parts of the Scriptures have different purposes. The first 5 books of Moses are very important because that is where all the laws are. The Gospels and Acts of the Apostles are also important because it contains the teachings of Yeshua and other historically relevant information. But unless they are addressing specific Torah laws, I think that the letters should be treated as secondary to the Torah and the Gospels.

Plus, what we’ve agreed upon as Scripture is basically just documents we regard as inspired by God and critical for sound doctrine and faith. So we can regard something as being inspired by God but not necessarily something to be canonized for every believer everywhere.
I think everything in our Bible’s today is important and God preserved it for a reason. I’m willing to consider other books mentioned by Scripture too (Enoch, Jasher, etc). But highly discourage believers from going down the trail of “Well I don’t understand this book of the Bible so clearly it’s wrong and I’m right”.
