This verse explains quite plainly
2 Timothy 3:16
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:”

Most ancient texts are not read “normally.”
The worst way to learn the bible is formally and through seminary . Most errors are regurgitated at these cemeteries, sorry I meant seminary.

And, due to the date of Timothy, it cannot be referring to any of the NT texts, because none of them were, as yet, included in a canon. So Timothy excludes all the Greek texts as “inspired.” That’s why it’s such poor practice to allow the Bible to be its own authority.

Where does it say that in the Bible? Paul, however, learned formally, as did most Judaic boys of the period.
I will give God the respect to differ with you on this . I believe he purposed to have written what he meant to say and say what he meant.

That only leads to people making the Bible say what they want it to say. A bit more study is needed than that.

BTW: thanks for the attempt at gaslighting.
And yet here we have Timothy included in out NT . How about that .

Nah. The process of writing, redacting, and compiling, itself, refutes this fantasy.

Your claim is refuted by the roughly 40,000 sects of Christianity. The differences between any two can be almost nonexistent, but one can go from one extreme to another using rather small steps.
Huh ??

Only many years after the fact. When it was written, it did not include itself in the corpus of “scripture.” This is the sort of thing seminaries bring to light.

This is an example of you not understanding the Bible by trying to get it to say what you want it to say. The author of Timothy was referring to the Old Testament there. The New Testament did not exist at that time. He could not have been referring to it.
There were several things in science that we now know are true that previously the majority ' refuted ' . Apologies were given later .

Trying to say that I don’t know what I know by intimating that fully-accredited institutions don’t really teach what they teach. It’s like Trump saying that Faucci didn’t know his stuff.

Look on the bright side. At least he is not catfishing you.

Yes, science has a self correcting mechanism. The Bible does not. We know that there was no Flood of Noah, and yet the myth is still in the Bible.
By the way, that does not help you. Most of those sects will say that you are wrong. In fat almost all of them will, but they will say that you are wrong in different ways.
This is why one needs more than a "natural reading' that only appeals to your own person prejudices.

It also claims the earth is a disc and the sky is made of a rigid material. ew know better.

I think that I brought the Flat Earth claims of the Bible up earlier. The retort? The Circle of the Earth verse. Don't they teach kids geometry today?
