Mr. E,
Welcome! [Thank you kindly]
[Jehovah is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. All scripture applys to humans from the beginning to the end whether for our instruction, or to provide spiritual strength.]
I'm going to take this in pieces. Bite sized chunks, if you will.
(1) "Jehovah is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end."
[Jesus becoming a God like His Father can attribute to the meaning of Jesus Christ as Alpha and Omega also, knowing all from beginning to end. I and the Father are One]
So is Jesus. (Revelation 22:12-16) In fact, nothing in the Greek manuscripts allows for ever stating with authority that this title belongs to Jehovah at all. See the recent discussion of the unconscionable insertion of YHWH into the NT.
(2) "All scripture applys to humans from the beginning to the end whether for our instruction, or to provide spiritual strength."
All scripture being beneficial for humans does not equate to all scripture applying to humans. Your attempt to twist the meaning of what 2 Timothy 3:16 says has not gone unnoticed. And who interprets whether a particular verse is for one purpose or for another? I think under_believer was perfectly clear that he believes the context shows this is only applicable in the general sense that almost all proverbs from every culture are applicable.
[The scriptures apply to those in the heavens also. Those in the heaven are higher in intelligence so Jah had to hide the meaning of all scriptures until Jesus Christ reveals them to us all. This is why they questioned Jesus as to the time of their torment while Jesus was upon the earth. If they cannot understand the full meaning, neither can humans upon the earth.]
On that note, the wording of 2 Timothy 3:16 could not possibly be said to include the Gospels, the record of the Acts of the Apostles, or any of the letters from the early church fathers unless we take the words literally. In which case, everything written (which is what the word for Scripture means) is inspired of God and beneficial.
[2 Timothy reads: ALL scripture. The accounts in the bible are very instructive would you not agree?]
But, ultimately, this becomes a question of who it is that has authority to interpret the way in which a given verse should be applied. If we are going to give the job to a group of men who've proven for years they can't get anything right when it comes to interpretation, we might as well let my six-year-old neice do the interpreting. Certainly you can agree that, in context, Proverbs 27:11 is NOT referring specifically to Jehovah, Jehovah's servants, and Satan respectively. Any application along those lines is interpretive and contrived, not implicit in the text itself.
[I do not claim that the W.T.S. has full authorization to interpret the scripture under divine guidance. It is written that those that seek shall find. There are many well versed people in the bible, and have an understanding of some where others do not. Consider this to be a gift from Jah]
I await your considered reply.
Respectfully,
AuldSoul
Jehovah applauds you gracious mannerisms and respect, and I reply in like manner
