Hello my friends, I'll get right  to the point. What exactly does 2Tim3:16 mean.
All scripture is given by inspiration of God (I know what this part means). and is profitable for doctrine for reproof for correction for instruction in righteousness."profitable" does this mean good for doctrine? now here is where I get a little lost. reproof for correction for instruction in righteousness.

Any and all help is welcome.

To me it means I can find everything for my life in the word of God, I just need older brothers and sisters to help me understand what I’m reading.

I hope this helps you but what does a newbie really know. LOL
May god have Mercy on us all. Amen  :)

Hey Darren,

 Don't get discouraged, you can actually teach yourself a lot by doing what your doing. You get questions and talk with people and you go and search it out, your going to learn a lot in the process. You do this enough you may have the whole Bible memorized!  ;)

Peace,
Jeff
