From Ukraine, with love Part 1

God Breathed
           
2 Timothy 3:15-17 
When Paul says "all scripture is God-breathed," surely it is 100% true, or 100% false. For if it is true, God would have known if future man would come along and 'officially' establish old and new testament.  God commissioned specific men to write the bible, so wouldn't He have commissioned specific men to 'publish' the early bible? (where most of our modern translations such as KJV, NIV, AMP, HCSB, etc. come from) 
Verse 15 is reaffirming that the old testament is still very much about Christ. Verse 16, still similar. 
I personally sum up the old testament by saying, "it is about the law and prophecies about Christ, and it teaches us more about God's character." Without the old testament, we would not appreciate Jesus Christ and the new testament nearly as much (verse 15)
