Where in the Bible can I find the verse that says all 66 books are inspired by God?
If you ever find one you may know by its presence there that the Bible has been changed by men, for the 66 books of the Bible were written long before they were combined in on cover as the Bible, and none of them, therefore, can refer to the Bible as a whole, or all 66 books. It simply did not exist and had not been conceived of when they were written.

His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.) 4)what i
