1 | Scripture alone? | James 1:5 | Parable | 191943 | ||
Thanks, Doc Would you be so kind as to respond with the texts of those verses so we can more conveniently appreciate your response? I note that "Reformed thinking" is a tradition of the church, not scripture, so its not a topic for this thread. As for Watson's assertion, how about "Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him; I will surely defend my ways to his face." -- Job 13:15 Parable |

Son, the formal cause of the Reformation was sola Scriptura. :-) It was in reaction to "tradition of the church, not scripture." (sic) :-) Besides which, have you not read Ephesians 4? Now, do I really have to look up those Scriptures for you? I'm uncertain which translation you might prefer. Hey... I've an idea... why not just buy the book? The texts, further quotes, and his own words are all right there for your convenience: The Supremacy of God in Preaching (Baker, 1990, 2nd edition, 2003). Amazon has some used versions available for under three bucks. Watson is available in the public domain. In Him, Doc |

"Do you bite your thumb at us, sir?" --Abraham to Sampson, Act 1, Scene 1 of Romeo and Juliet. Your point about the Reformation is not in dispute. However since then, there have sprung up new traditions, doctrines, denominations, etc. So, for this thread, and this thread alone, anything outside the body of work known as SCRIPTURE should be posted elsewhere. Providing the actual text is merely a courtesy for those who may wish to assimilate your post in one reading. As for citations, the system of chapter and verse were imposed upon scripture long after the canon was set. The original authors and original recipients of scripture would find our current system rather alien. Don't you wonder if compartmentalizing the Word in this way has changed how we perceive it, compared to how it was originally understood? As for the version I prefer, the NIV will suffice, thanks! |
