Bible Note: I don't think I have shown any intolerance and if I did it was unintentional and I apologize. NOR do I disagree with the authority, necessity, sufficiency, perspicuity, or inerrancy of the word! I also believe Man was created to live by the every word of the Lord, however John tells us John 21:25 (NASB) 25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they *were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself *would not contain the books that *would be written. My concern is many of those things passed by word of mouth and later documented in the writings of the Early Church Fathers have been ignored, rejected, discounted, and in some cases mocked. What I disagree with is that the concept of the Sola Scriptura is a precept of God. As I stated I believe Scripture provides us the boundaries for our life but to be in God’s perfect will we must allow the Holy Spirit to leads us within those boundaries. His leading will never cross those boundaries nor will it move the survey lines. What I hold first and foremost is that the Word of God is living My intention for posting in response to your quote was not to debate your quote but rather to tell “the rest of the story”, so to speak. So often man states things as absolute positives when in fact the are precepts, concepts, ideas birthed in the mind of men. And as such can and may even be contrary to the very nature of God. |
