You just referred to Scripture that references these events, therefore it is because of Scripture I believe they occurred, not because of "Sacred Tradition."
You know Amariselle, I have been enjoying our discussions, but it has to have some sort of structure. Like, you ask me a question or two, and I answer, then I ask you a question or two and you answer. I my last few posts, I've ask you some very important questions and you completely ignore them. (something Major1 in famous for, thats why I dont even bother reading his posts any longer, much less address them.). For example, back on post #114 you stated:
Of course she's blessed, but she was not sinless. (And I do not agree with the veneration she is given in the Catholic Church, because such honour belongs to God alone).
And I replyed..." Really? do/did you not honor your Mother and Father as the Commandments instrust us to do?
Do you think Jesus broke the commandment by not honoring His mother?
Do you think Jesus honored Mary and Joseph?
Did Jesus love His mother?"
Now Amariselle, I beleive these to be very legidimate questions being you say such honor belongs to God alone, whereas the Commandments command us to honor our mother' and fathers. How do you explain that?
Now as for you first quote above, you missed my point entirely.The point I was making was in reguards to your belief of sola scriptura. The Protestant belief that everything one needs to know for a sole rule of faith, and every word Jesus spoke can be found within the pages of the bible. This is your belief, correct? If not, please correct me where I am in error. If I am correct, let me continue.
Again, in Acts 20:35, St Paul say's..."In all things I have shown you that by so toiling one must help the weak, remembering the words of the Lord jesus, how he said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive."
And in the book of
Jude 1:9 it says..."But when the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, disputed about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a reviling judgment upon him, but said, "The Lord rebuke you."
You are correct to say I referred to Scripture that references these events. However, Acts 20:35 is quoting St.Paul repeating Jesus' words, not Jesus actually saying them. So the question I asked was, using your bible alone, could you show the chapter and verse where it is written where "Jesus said"......... "It is more blessed to give than to receive."
As for Jude 1:9. Again, using your bible alone doctrine, could you show from the Old Testament (chapter/verse) where this dispute between the Archangel Michael and Satan over Moses' body is to be found?
I will address the rest of the examples where you believe Sacred Traditions contradicts/goes against the Bible. One at a time that is. I do apologize though for asking more than a couple of questions this time within a single post. From here on out I will limit it to one or two. Thank you for your responce in advance.
