Re: What to Believe
So are you saying that the bible itself doesn't teach the doctrine of infallibility, but dogma does?
​
I'm sure she is, as it is trivially true. The Bible is a collection of works, the most recent of which completed some considerable time before redaction. How could the Bible itself claim infallibility when none of its components contain any knowledge of its own existence???

Re: What to Believe
Because several parts of the Bible do contain reference to 'Scripture', so 2 Timothy 3:16 (KJV) tells us:
​
So what is "scripture" to "Paul"? Only those books deemed fit for the canon, to be decided several hundred years hence??? Only the most naive of Christian apologetics can claim that 2 Timothy 3:16 is a reference to the Bible - despite the abject naivity, I do appreciate that it is often done.
