Subject: Sola Scriptura supported by bible? |
Bible Note: You wrote: "It is very short sighted, in my opinion, to just ignore over 1600 years of Christian history." On that we can agree, and the classical Reformation position takes the same view. You wrote: "You ask me how do I tell what is scripture? That is a good question. I don't think there is a right answer to that." Well, I think you will agree that we have to draw the line SOMEWHERE. We can't just accept every writing that anyone claimed is inspired. In my mind, it says a lot about the Roman Catholic view of the Apocrypha, however, when claims are made that books like Judith and Tobit are not factual accounts of real individuals. Claiming that there are divinely-inspired works of fiction in the Old Testament just doesn't sit well with me at all. It just doesn't "fit." --Joe! |
