Why Sola Scriptura isn't God's plan

[Ortho_Cat]

Right. There were only independent churches ruled by a plurality of elders.

what happened to the bishops?

 

[Hentenza]

Second thing we agree on. We are on a roll.

One is not a roll

You really don't read posts.

 

[Hentenza]

what happened to the bishops?

Part of the elders.

What was the first

 

[Montalban]

Part of the elders.

Do you have women eleders?

 

[Hentenza]

What was the first

Is that a question?

 

[Hentenza]

Do you have women eleders?

No.

 

[Montalban]

Is that a question?

No, it's part of the 'who's on first' skit

 

[Montalban]

No.

Does it matter? Some of your invisible church bretheren do.

 

[Hentenza]

Does it matter? Some of your invisible church bretheren do.

So?

 

[Montalban]

So?

Well the NT says only men. I believe that's the way it's written and intended.

You either allow non-Biblical bishops within your invisible church, even if not within your denomination, or you don't.

Go talk to the ones that accept women as elders. We don't.

You either accept unbiblical "T"raditions like the Theotokos into your visible local church or you don't.

 

[Montalban]

Yes, you do. They're in the same invisible church! Or, aren't they

If you want to argue that the child she gave birth to was not God, start a thread.

 

[Hentenza]

Yes, you do. They're in the same invisible church! Or, aren't they

If you are a Christian then you are part of the same invisible church also.

 

[Montalban]

If you are a Christian then you are part of the same invisible church also.

That's what you believe. Apparently you think that I do. And it still doesn't help you, because you're arguing aginst me over traditions, and if I was in the same invisible church why not say "What do I care" about our tradtions?

You're still sunk.

 

[Montalban]

Well folks, as my beliefs don't really matter to Hentenza because I'm in his invisible church I'd like to say good bye to him debating here and hope he enjoys himself when he goes on to other threads.

I will miss him from this thread

Anyone else want to discuss SS with me?

Is that what you've been doing

Have you gotten a Bible verse saying something to the effect of "use only Scripture" yet? Preferably with a definition of "Scripture".

 

[sunlover1]

It's great to be your own Pope.

I don't get it.
You don't have a pope either.

 

[laconicstudent]

Well, there is,

His Beatitude Theodoros II, Pope and Patriarch of Alexandria and All Africa

But in this case, "Pope" isn't like the Roman Catholic Pope; its just a title. So there you go, trivia fact of the day.
