Bible Note: "The classical Protestant understanding is that there is ONE tradition, first oral and then written down as an infallible standard for the post-apostolic church" And just where do you get that from? Can you give chapter and verse? Or is it human tradition? "In other words, the church is not infallible (if you think that it is, please show me where the Bible says THAT)" Paul makes no claim that the church is without error but he does regard it as being the foundation of truth. You may note the absence of the word Bible here. Paul doesn't say refer to the scriptures. 1Timothy 3:15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. "that at no time has the church been free from the possibility of error. " I don't think you understand what infallibility is. It doesn't mean that we are without error. It does mean that the church has authority to determine what is truth. We must have this, or we have nothing. |
