What happens with this line of thought is that one has to arbitrarily abandon it at some point, or else Paul, Ananias, Peter and John get censured for being void of revelation also. So one makes the argument selectively, and hopes no one notices when it tails off.

But... I’m not concerned where truth leads... all is scripture is God breathed.. I have not abandoned a single verse and no inclination whatsoever to do so. The Bible is chocked full of people expressing wrong ideas, misguided thinking, human issues, mistakes, failure, sin, sins, evil, calling out deceptions and erroneous teachings. We see it in the Old an New Testaments. We see it in the gospels and we see it the letters. It’s all documented there and that record lends more credence to the idea that the Bible reveals both the divine truths and the erroneous human thoughts ... all contained therein. Why did the Lord Jesus refer to Peter as Satan? Why is it recorded there? Why did Paul shame Peter? Why is it recorded there? Why did all in Asia abandon Paul? Why is it recorded there?
So, there we find some of the evidence in the record of Holy Writ that not everything in it is divine truth.... that is why the NT charges us to cut straight the Word of God. If everything in it is divine truth then what is there to cut? If all is to be regarded equally then why does the writer of Hebrews say that when Moses is read a veil lies on their heart? Because all is not equal in the canon of scripture. The law is good but it cannot enable us to live an overcoming life according to His complete salvation.
Now, I ask you the question you asked me to wit now I ask you to present as thorough a response as I have above. On what scriptural basis do you assert that the Bible only reveals and expresses divine truth, all equal, and all to be followed and adhered to with the same weight? Where does the Bible make the claims about itself that you make about it?
