Perhaps you should tell these things to your compatriots, Doc. I didn't attack anyone when I came on here; but rather, I offered kind words of comfort to those I saw in need. But these people you praise so highly responded with nothing but harsh criticism and slanderous remarks. One even stooped to hurling insults. This may be a Bible Study Forum, Doc... but that doesn't mean it's a holy Spirit filled forum. A person may appear to have a knowledge of Scripture, but it doesn't mean anything without the character of Christ; even the devil can quote Scripture. And, as a new member of the forum, I have strictly adhered to the Lockman standard; whereas the few who have responded to my posts have not. They have not "Limited content that contains known denominational biases that produce potential strife and undue conflict." They have "pushed their denominational bias and engaged in debates." They have not "interacted with [new members] in a Christian spirit, with respect and grace." They have not "let their speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that they will know how to respond to [new members]." So go tell your friends to read the Lockman standards. They need it far more than I. And thank them for their warm, friendly welcome. Not. |

Son, you're not doing much for your case. I didn't say decry, whinge, accuse, and opine... I said calm, careful, honest, logical, and Scriptural. Do you understand the doctrine of sola Scriptura? |

Hi, GC... Yes, the fruit of the Spirit is all goodness, and righteousness, and truth (Ephesians 5:9). Those in the light always bear fruit in good works and good words. The Holy Spirit always works through the Word of God, never contrary to it. These are consistent with each and every post to which people have responded to you. Okay, your turn. I ask again: Do you understand sola Scriptura? It is really an absolute essential to your participation in this forum. We see lots of people come and go. At the rate you're going, young man, Lockman may very well be reconsidering your membership privileges. So... what is sola Scriptura? In Him, Doc |

Hi Doc. As I understand, Sola Scriptura was a Latin term adopted by Protestant Reformers around the fourteenth to sixteenth centuries, when brave clergymen openly protested the Catholic Church's stance on certain practices and beliefs. Their banner (or battle cry, if you will) became "Sola Scriptura!" which means, "Scripture Only!" As I recall, these "Protestor's" believed the Bible was the final word on doctrine and not the Pope; and they ascribed all moral and religious authority to the Bible, instead of the Church. As a result, many of these brave souls lost their lives for protesting the Church. QUESTIONS FOR OUR DAY The question we should ask ourselves today is... how could so many different Christian belief systems arise from the one political banner of "Scripture Alone" (such as Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Mennonite, and Adventist, to only name a few)? How could so many doctrinal views, many of them diametrically opposed, spring from the one slogan, "sola Scriptura"? If all these different religious factions held to the same belief ("Scripture Only"), then how was it possible for them to develop such divergent doctrinal views? Is it because "Scripture Alone" was not enough? Or, is it because Scripture can be taken out of context and used to "prove" what we believe? And, if "Scripture Alone" was not enough to ensure spiritual harmony among Christian believers throughout the centuries, then what makes us believe it is enough to ensure it now on a world-wide Internet website? |
