We know what the Bible says, concerning the scriptures.
"Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God." Matt 4:4; Deut 8:3
"All scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction in righteousness..." 2 Tim 3:16
And so, where are we presented with the idea that it is not "every word" or "all scripture" but rather "some words" and "some scripture"; secondly, by what process we are to relegate some of it to a status of lesser profitability or nourishment?
And where is it suggested that some scriptures' utility are only in showing fallen men's failed good intentions?
I would like to see the precedent for this: if this presentation came AFTER WL's "God's eternal economy" template emerged, then that should rather impel us to relegate his hermeneutical template to a lesser rank, rather than subordinating the scriptures themselves.
