    Isn't this a case of obvious blasphemy?

    Good question what made Stephen "favored?" Act 6:8 And Stephen, full of grace and power, was performing great wonders and signs among the people. Brian

    Does this verse disprove Sola Scriptura?

    And what was heard? 2Ti 2:2 The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. What did Paul teach verbally that is also written? Timothy traveled with Paul. What did he hear? The gospel...

    Does this verse disprove Sola Scriptura?

    Actually if you do a little research the "tradition" by word is the gospel. Brian

    Did Jesus have a brother or not???

    Philip, It is obvious as to what the written traditions are. But what are the oral traditions? Are they recorded anywhere? Brian

    Where do you get your NT from

    The oral teachings are recorded in the scripture. It is the gospel. See other post Brian

    Age of Accountability

    I could be way off base, but I have been looking at this verse to support age of accountablity. Again I could be wrong. Isa 7:15 "He will eat curds and honey at the time He knows enough to refuse evil and choose good. Isa 7:16 "For before the boy will know enough to refuse evil and choose...

    The (oral) traditions? The gospel. Pauls letters told us what was spoken. I addressed this in another forum you can read it here. http://www.theologyforums.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7230&pagenumber=3 Brian

    Where do you get your NT from

    My whole point was the RCC claims at least by some that they are the one true church because they were used to help put together the bible. traditions are another story. Brian

    Where do you get your NT from

    Do you care to expound further? Your basically saying the RCC is correct because the Roman church was used to put the New testament scriptures together. I am also asking did it make the Jews right because they were used to put together the old testament. Judas was chosen as an apostle, does that...

    Where do you get your NT from

    Didnt the Holy Spirit also lead the pharisees to collect and combine the old testament scriptures? Were the pharisees correct? Brian

    Was Paul inspired by God?

    I would also add that others who mentioned Paul would agree with his apostleship, such as Luke writing about Paul in Acts and Peter saying Pauls writings are scripture. Brian

    Authority to Bind & Loose on earth

    Actually Carlos, Paul did not not succeed any other apostle so he would not fall under the criteria. He was added by Christ. Hope this clarifies. God Bless, Brian

    Authority to Bind & Loose on earth

    Carlos, I believe apostolic succession is supported by the scripture but there was a criteria that needed to be met. Act 1:21 "Therefore it is necessary that of the men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us-- Act 1:22 beginning with the...
