If so, why?

Timothy was in reference to the Old Testament.
If I were to interpret it the way you do, then since the Book of Mormon is scripture, according to Timothy it is of God.
There was no New Testament when Timothy was written!
As to the actual question: No. I believe much of what is written as a history, but I take a grain of salt when I read about the details. Also, since many verses are hyperbole or metaphor, you can believe the intent, but not the passage.

God shows me what things mean in the Bible. He does that for those who trust Him. So talking to a person about what I believe in the Bible who has no respect for the Bible is something to consider on how to answer. Because if I say 'yes', you may think that I believe the Bible in the way you understand it. I probably don't believe the Bible the way you understand it.
I believe in the Bible in the way I have been taught to understand it, which is probably not the way you understand it.

15and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

isn't it bemusing how atheists believe Christians believe each and every thing they study in the bible besides the reality that it is not genuine? is this the lax way that atheists arrive in any respect their bigoted notions approximately different communities or is it merely the Christians approximately whom they fully believe any rubbish with out any helping data?

When I was a Christian, everything that wasn't "believed" was said to be a metaphor or that it was "retracted" in the New Testament. Those excuses is given alot.

YES.(2 Timothy 3:16) . . .All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness,
(Isaiah 55:8-9) . . .“For the thoughts of YOU people are not my thoughts, nor are my ways YOUR ways,” is the utterance of Jehovah. 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than YOUR ways, and my thoughts than YOUR thoughts.
