The POWER of Scriptura Suprema!.
Provide the verse:...OK...I'll play!
- Say(s) God created the world/universe out of nothing,
Genesis chapter 1+2;
Rev.4 (ALL NASB)
11 “Worthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power;
for You created all things, and because of Your will they existed, and were created.”
- Say(s) Scripture is the sole authority (i.e., there is no other authority for learning about God and/or salvation),
NOT "sola scriptura"...
SUPREMA SCRIPTURA
Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of
soul and
spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
2 Timothy 3:16
All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;
- Say(s) salvation is attainable through faith alone,
Ephesians 2: 4-5,8-10
4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,
5 MADE US ALIVE with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions
—it is by grace (unmerited Love/Mercy/favor) you have been saved.
8 For by GRACE (Love/Mercy) you have been SAVED through FAITH; and that (FAITH/BELIEF) not of yourselves, it is the (spiritual) GIFT of God;
9 NOT as a result of WORKS, so that no one may boast.
10 For we are His workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus for good works,
which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.
- Tell(s) us how we know that the revelation of Jesus Christ ended with the death of the last Apostle,

18 I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book:
if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book;
19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy,
God will take away his part from the tree of life and from the holy city, which are written in this book.
- Provide(s) a list of the canonical books of the Old Testament and/or New Testament

The Beginning of Jesus' Ministry
As soon as Jesus (God the Son) was baptized, he went up out of the water.
At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God (God the Holy Spirit)
descending like (in the form of) a dove and lighting on him.And a voice (God the Father) from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased."
Mark 9:7
Then a cloud (God the Holy Spirit) formed, overshadowing them (Jesus, God the Son +2), and a voice (God the Father) came out of the cloud,
“This is My beloved Son, listen to Him!”

he (the Spirit of TRUTH) will testify (to the spirit of Man) about me. (God the Son/Jesus)
John 14:26(NASB)
26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit,
whom the Father will send in My name,
He will teach you all things, and
bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.

Then Jesus came to them (disciples) and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore
a. go and
b. make disciples of all nations,(converting to believers)
c. baptizing them (saved believers) in the name
of (God) the Father and
of (God) the Son and

and d. teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.
And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
