Bible Question (short): Truth lost in the Reformations? |
Question (full): Emmaus You present an interesting understanding of 1 John 5:16-17 one which is not understood outside of Catholicism. I wonder how long it was accepted as such within the church ? Which then leads me to my next thought. Since the original church evolved into the Catholic church was this an understanding invented by the church or pass to it by the apostle’s teaching? If it was a teaching of the apostles I wonder what else was lost when the reformation declared many such teachings as invalid or non "sola scriptura"? I might add I find the term "sola scriptura" to be the ideal concept but one in reality that is rarely if ever followed certainly not by any denomination. EdB |
