Greetings Angel! The fact that many mis-handle the Word, does not make the Word wrong! ;-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Tim I don't think anyone is saying the word is wrong at least not me. What I'm saying is by insisting on Sola Scriptura many times we miss out on specific teaching delivered by the Apostles or those they directly discipled that may clarify a commonly disputed scripture. There are many issues where Scripture was not finite but the teachings of the disciples and early church fathers made in finite. Also many use Sola Scriptura as a type of certification to prove their take on scripture is the correct one, when in fact we know many scriptures that can be understood one two or even three ways. But again Sola Scriptura is not the issue of this thread. The thrust and I had hoped the bearing of this thread would be how do we reconcile our division into denominational separation to the many admonishments and commands to remain in unity and one accord? Also how do we justify often prevailing attitudes of borderline hatred and in some cases near open hostility over denominational differences and still claim to follow the commandment love your neighbor as you would love yourself? And I guess as a side issue to all of this does the world see denominationalism as hyprocritical? I wasn't after the issues that separate us but I wanted more feedback on how we justify our position on these questions. EdB |
