Maybe the best description of the purpose of Scripture I've ever read. There was only one thing you said that I wonder why as it seems to contradict the rest of what you said. In the question "What do you think it is? Rules, religion, redemption, a relationship with God?", which has a nice set of "r"'s you say "a relationship with God". It certainly seems with all else you said that a relationship with God is one of the main purposes of Scripture, with the only caveat that the Word has to work with the Spirit for that to happen. Thoughts?
Do you think these days there is too much emphasis by many on just 2 Tim 3:16-17, in regards to the purpose of Scripture, and not enough showing the wider purpose that you presented?
