Reason I ask is because many seem to think, rather blindly believe, everything in Bible is God inspired, such as slaughter of children & destruction of people, which would make God bi-polar & fearful to approach lest he's having a "law worketh wrath" day. To me "the God of all comfort" is no dis-comfort at all & "the God of all grace" is no law at all, in the same manner "that God is light" is no darkness at all; And "the only true God" suggests a false God to compare in such things are "allegory" & "mystery" to solve, not literal nor historical.
3:17 speaks of the "man" of God, "perfect": "all good works"; Not child, imperfect: good & bad works. God said: Let us make "man". Paul said: when I became a "man", I put away childish things(plural).
2Tim 3:16,17
All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
