OK. So you agree that Scripture is the sixty-six books of the Protestant Bible. And I'll assume that you agree that the books are the words, sentences, propositions, etc that they contain. Correct?
Now then, if
Scripture = the
66 books of the Protestant Bible = the
words, sentences, propositions, etc that the 66 books of the Protestant Bible contain.
Then:
"All Scripture is knowledge" has exactly the same meaning as:
"All the words, sentences, propositions, etc that the 66 books of the Protestant Bible contain is knowledge.
Are you with me so far?
If P = p1, p2, p3, p3,...pn,
then All (p1, p2, p3, p3,...pn) is X is the exact the same as all P is X.
Nothing has been added or subtracted.
