1 | Beware "Another" | 2 Cor 11:4 | jlhetrick | 156456 | ||
Hi Mark, This is a great question, thanks for asking it. I would like to comment while we wait on Humbled to respond. Again I think that context can help us understand the Pope's comments. I realize you are asking for an opinion (what is thought) of the statement and agree that opinion is really all any of us can offer. I looked at the quote in context with the immediate statements before and after the statement you quoted. "This is why love for Sacred Scripture is so important, and in consequence, it is important to know the faith of the Church which opens up for us the meaning of Scripture. It is the Holy Spirit who guides the Church as her faith grows, causing her to enter ever more deeply into the truth" The Pope here seems to be putting special emphasis on "love for sacred scripture." He also emphasizes that it is the "Holy Spirit who guides the church as her faith grows." He also atributes to the Holy Spirit as being the "cause" of the church "entering more deeply into the truth." With this in mind, It may be that the Pope has Romans 10:17 in mind. Rom 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Wish we knew for sure what he meant. Jeff |

2 | Beware "Another" | 2 Cor 11:4 | Victor529 | 156509 | ||
Be assured that the Pope does not hold to sola scriptura nor to the private interpretation of Scripture. His comments will be fully in accord with Vatican II's DOGMATIC CONSTITUTION ON DIVINE REVELATION DEI VERBUM http://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_const_19651118_dei-verbum_en.html Read this and you will know 'what he meant.' |

Hi Victor, Yep, I read the Domatic Constitution on Devine Revelation. Thaks for the link. You are abaolutely right. It's all right there. It's obvious from reading it what the Pope had to have meant. So the bottom line is, on the surface, taking the words of the Pope at face value, there is nothing inappropriate stated (my opinion). Taken in context with what the RCC claims as it's role in revealing God's truth (which I see happens to only INCLUDE the scriptures)it does become obvious what the Pope meant. HUMMMM. Do I smell wool? Is that sheeps clothing he is wearing? Thanks for the link, Jeff |
