Hi Pilgrim
A have made a rough draft of how I want ro respond to him. I want to do so without giving too much detail, therefore I have cut it to the bare bones.
Here is what I m thinking of saying.

Thank you for responding.
Theoretically speaking I agree with you. The Scriptures don’t make the person and work of Jesus less real.
However, we live in the real world, what we have is Scripture, which must not be viewed as merely a record of revelation, but as revelation itself, given its internal claims and evidences.
Can someone who claims that Jesus is Lord reject Jesus’ view of Scripture?
Jesus had a very high view of Scripture that does not allow for the rejection of its authority, authenticity, accuracy or complete trustworthiness. For someone to struggle with questions related to those things is one thing. To reject them outright while claiming to live under the Lordship of Jesus Christ is quite another.
We divorce the person and work of Jesus from Scripture at our own peril.
