Ps 33:6
בִדְבַר יהוה שָׁמַיִם נַעֲשׂוּ וּבְרוּחַ פִיו כָל־צְבָאָם
"By The Word of Yahweh the heavens were made; by The Breath/Spirit (רוּחַ) of His mouth all their host."
Father, Debar, Ruah.
1, 2, 3.
But the 3 are 1.
And He is The Creator!
q.e.d.

"If you don't assent to the infallible teachings of the Syriac Peshitta then you aren't in spiritual communion with the Assyrian Peshittic Halakhic Hellenic Church, the only institution on earth in whom dwells the fullness of truth; thus you're in schism with Jesus's only Body."

It does. The Council of Jerusalem *did not go beyond what was written.* They added no new command nor word to affirm upon pain of excom. And indeed even their guidance there was not followed universally even at that time.
So re: your last, that *would* be true *if* they had.

Daniel, while in Babylon under King Darius, recognized Jeremiah’s writings as the word of God and discerned that Judah’s exile would last 70 years.
There was no creed or council needed for him to recognize “the word of YHWH that came to Jeremiah the prophet” (Dan. 9:2).
ALT Judah's exile to Babylon.

King Josiah was presented the Book of the Law after it had been absent from Judah’s life and practice for roughly 75 years. When its words were read, “he tore his clothes” (2 Kings 22:11).
Was a council, creed, or table of contents needed for him to know it was the words of God?

How did the Bereans have Scripture if it wasn't compiled by "church tradition" yet? 🤔
Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.

This is arguably where the Classical Theology / Dogmatics crowd necessarily lands. A warning if you're enamored with that movement.
If you reject the Apostles Creed & the Nicene Creed, you’re not a Christian. Doesn’t matter what your favorite pop teachers says, rando podcaster, or the subjective nonsense of your own mind, you’re not a Christian. Doesn’t matter if hold the Solas backwards & forwards. Repent.

Many tribal Protestants have unperceivingly replaced the Bible with a creed or a manmade tradition or a systematized commentary from the 16th century.

To avoid wandering into Trinitarian heresy, memorize The Athanasian Creed.

Biblical cross references should be split into more than one category.
I want to be able to see direct quotes or allusions only. As in inner-biblical allusions.
Group all the "similar theme" cross references separately, they are annoying to have to sift through 😅

"We live in a predominantly secular-materialistic world. Many people today have grown weary of the raw materialism in our day. So they want a world in which invisible things actually exist. Things such as love, truth, luck, or emotion..."

To read literally is, in other words, to try to understand what Scripture is saying to us in just the ways in which we seek to understand what other people are saying to us--taking into account, as we do so, their age, culture, customs, and language, -->

The consensus among scholars is that the 4 beasts of chapter 7, like the metals of chapter 2, symbolize Babylon, Media, Persia & the Seleucid Greeks, with Antiochus IV as the "small horn" that uproots three others (Antiochus usurped the rights of several other claimants).

Therefore, the little horn is Daniel's code word for the Greek king Antiochus IV Epiphanes. There's no good evidence it "must stem from a power that is ruling during Jesus' time on earth."
The Seleucid Empire is the Fourth Beast, Not Rome.

I summarized the usual understanding of the passage in contemporary scholarship. The "ruler who is to come" corresponds to Antiochus Epiphanes in 11:21ff and he is the one who "makes a covenant with the many" in 9:27.

If Judah's exile in Babylon lasted longer than 70 years, say 150 years, would the Israelites have reasoned that there must be a gap in Jeremiah's prophecied 70 years?
No!
They would have rightfully thought him to be a false prophet.

This whole land will be a waste place and an object of horror, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon seventy years.

Daniel understood the timing.
in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, discerned in the books the number of the years concerning which the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah the prophet for the fulfillment of the laying waste of Jerusalem, namely, seventy years.
— Daniel 9:2
