If only the scriputres supported sola scriptura

Yeah, that would be nice

If it were part of God's plan it was in a large box saying "Do not open before 1515AD"

It certainly is interesting how the topic slid away when we tried to raise that point.

The worst is that people who don't support sola scriptura REJCT scripture.

It seems its an all-or-nothing with them.

Says a whole heap of people there buddy. Those letters are direct evidence, not hearsay.

In my post #571 I replied to you and asked you some questions. You may have missed it. I'm hoping you might be able to say what you think.

I won't even bother quoting the verse from Timothy. We all know it, it just gets conveniently forgotten when some posters, who don't have their age showing usually, want to curl their lip.

There are so many (not lip curlers, i mean verses in Timothy)
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,
2 To Timothy my true son in the faith:
Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

Grace mercy and peace!
Such a wonderful example for young men to follow.
Unlike some carnal and ungodly examples on GT.
Sadly, just because someone says that they are
His doesn't mean that they're worthy of hearing.
Hope you young men learn rather from the former .

I believe that there is much power in God's Word, which is
why I often use such phrases as Paul did above,... grace
and peace to you" for example.
When we "bless" this way, it's not empty words but God's
LIVING words being actually sent into the spiritual realm
to accomplish that which He sent them forth to do. He
said in the OT iirc, that He sends His ANGELS forth to
perform His Word..

I may not explain it well, and it may seem like a stretch,
but I use His Word to effect change... no matter where
I am or what is going on.
"IT IS WRITTEN", contrary to the beliefs of mockers that I have
encountered, carries power in the spiritual.

We can bless with our words and we can curse with our
words.

Anyhow,.. Timothy rocks.

Here's another book that rocks.
And we all know that the fear of God
is the BEGINNING of wisdom...
Wisdom’s Call
1Does not wisdom call out?
Does not understanding raise her voice?
2On the heights along the way,
where the paths meet, she takes her stand;
3beside the gates leading into the city,
at the entrances, she cries aloud:
4“To you, O men, I call out;
I raise my voice to all mankind.
5You who are simple, gain prudence;
you who are foolish, gain understanding.
6Listen, for I have worthy things to say;
I open my lips to speak what is right.
7My mouth speaks what is true,
for my lips detest wickedness.
8All the words of my mouth are just;
none of them is crooked or perverse.
9To the discerning all of them are right;
they are faultless to those who have knowledge.
10Choose my instruction instead of silver,
knowledge rather than choice gold,
11for wisdom is more precious than rubies,
and nothing you desire can compare with her.

WoW! There's a good thing to consider.
NOthing...

Makes me want to read on further!

Which post or point are you referring to. I may have missed it.

The goal was established by Jesus,..

Joh 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto the Father.

I think that takes a great effort on the individuals part to be conformed to Jesus that much. That's a maturity many do not reach anymore.

Just something you made me think about again.

Some good stuff there

Glad you made ME think about that again too..
Most of us are falling pretty short I bet.
:doh:

None in particular, I was just noting the general thread in this thread from sola scriptura to flaming me.

Very true and well said. And I suppose it's enough said on the rather off-topic of youth.

I invite you, yet again, to address what I've written.

If you can evidence from scripture sola scriptura, that would be great

It would take an entire book !

What's your argument Montalban?
That Sola Scriptura is NOT a God idea?

What is your definition of SS, maybe we
are not on the same page with that....

Standing Up · Mar 17, 2011

It might help to read CJ's definition on his new thread. SS is a practice, a tool. It is the canon (rule of faith) that doctrines either line up with or don't line up to.

We know not everything was written down. We know there was talking amongst them. We use SS as a tool to line up our beliefs. What did God say? Not what did Joe or Jim from 50 years ago say as they claim it was a Tradition.

An entire very small book

sunlover1 said:

Yes, I've evidenced the Bible saying to follow scripture AND word

sunlover1 said:

You want me to define the point? :scratch:

Show me from scripture that scipture supports you idea, or anyone else's of sola scriptura

You give me your theory, and back it up. You don't need a whole book. The expurgated version will do for now

Which is an attempt to shift the problem.

Where's scripture say it's the only tool?

Using SS as a tool, show me that I shouldn't try and marry a 9 year old.

You might as well know right now that I'm not going to answer your questions or debate the truth of God's Word.

Disputes are something we will see repeatedly here and other places because there are many weak in the faith, and all we can do is force ourselves to not be affected by their flesh.

So you are saying that those of us who don't agree with your POV are weak in the faith?? That is a rather judgmental and 'holier than thou' attitude, is it not?

Apparently one is not 'weak' in faith if you have an opinion based on an opinion based on an opinion.

This would be settled if those supporting SS produced evidence from Scripture supporting SS

Better yet, this would be settled if those opposed to SS would provide support which shows tradition as being of a higher or equal authority.

Why Sola Scripture is a God Plan!

Hebrews 2:14.... Pesky Devil, git!
