John said, "and the word was God," but we never hear "the scripture was God," rather it says "all scripture is God-breathed."
Jesus word to the Jews in John 5.39-40 is helpful, "you search the scriptures, because in them you think that you have eternal life, and it is these that testify concerning me, but you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life."
Unless we come to Him, even His words are not His word.
Does that make sense?

Yes. And you know, of course, that when it was written that all scripture is God breathed that there wasn't a New Testament, so no NT books were included at that time.
