2 Timothy 3:15-17
"15 and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God[a] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."
Notice that there is no hedging that bet? All scripture. And well, here's a topic that we often discussed at school...do you think that the council that decided what was and was not cannon was not similarly inspired? That the books that made it, and the books that did not were chosen for a purpose? Do you truly believe that God would leave something like that up to us alone? You know as well as I do that God acts in today's day and age.
Have a little faith dude.

Um, because then God was lying when He inspired someone to write "this is not Gods commandment."

You are using an epistle to say every word of all epistles is divinely inspired?

So Roman Catholic priests CAN marry, under tortuous conditions? Interesting....

A priest can't marry, but a married person can become a priest.

There are a bunch of semi-Catholic denominations that allow priests to marry.

Religions don't work that way. They are full of moral absolutes. There is no flexibility *NM*
