Bible Question:
Hank, I take it you are sola scriptura. Can you provide scripture to support this stand? Sorry, but you did slip a left jab in there regarding church traditions, so I feel entitled to a response. |
Bible Answer: Jawz, yes I am totally sola scriptura, and yes I can provide ample Scripture of what Scripture says about itself to support my stand, and on many posts to this web site I have done just that, and so have many others. But I see no reason to repeat them to you, because it is a fairly safe guess that you will no more believe them than you believe what the Scriptures say of the marriage of Mary to Joseph or of their subsequent becoming parents to other children of this marriage. If you do not accept the Scriptures as your sole authority for faith and practice, I see no reason to answer any more of your questions or attempt to prove anything else to you by the use of Scripture. Our premises are too divergent to permit of any meaningful dialogue that uses Scripture as the basis for its arguments and conclusions. This forum is designed to be a STUDY of Scripture and not an ATTACK on its authority. Accordingly, I choose not to participate in or respond to anything further that is presented on this thread. You, jawz, are in violation of the second agreement that appears in the green oblong box in which you agree before posting that your post is not an attack on the authority of the Bible. The Lockman Foundation set up these guidelines for users to follow, and they fully expect them to be followed. It is wise for every user to pay attention to them if they wish to be allowed continued access to post on this forum. --Hank |
