Biblical Exegesis explanation and discussion

[Hentenza]

"All" scripture, not "only" scripture.

What other scripture is there?

 

[Fervent]

I disagree.

All pre-Origen uses of the word speak to it as an act of vivification, not a theory of inspiration

Actually the primacy and holiness of scripture is well documented among the ECFs.

Primacy, sure. But not the sole rule, prima scriptura is not the same thing as sola scriptura.

That determination would be quite subjective.

Ok but what other scripture is God breathed? Would you follow a doctrine that was not biblical?

Not really, it's callled examining the existing texts.

There's no need for other God-breathed Scripture, especially since you have yet to establish that God-breathed means what you insist it means contrary to the contemporaraneous uses of it. The ECFs didn't treat it as a sui generis work, they saw it as the Orthodox see it today as the cornerstone of a larger tradition handed down from the apostles.

Obviously your opinion and mine differ even though both of us have examined the texts.

There is no need for other God breathed Scripture because there isn’t any other. I’ll let Clement of Rome answer for me regarding the meaning of God breathed.

“Let us act accordingly to that which is written (for the Holy Spirit saith, “Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom)....Look carefully into the Scriptures, which are the true utterances of the Holy Spirit.”
Clement, The First Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians, XIII

The ECFs didn't treat it as a sui generis work, they saw it as the Orthodox see it today as the cornerstone of a larger tradition handed down from the apostles.

I disagree. The ECFs recognized the divine authorship and apostolic origin which puts the scriptures in a category of their own. I don’t see scriptures like the Orthodox or the Catholics do nor do I recognize tradition at being on par with the Holy Scriptures.

 

[Always in His Presence]

"All" scripture, not "only" scripture.

Can you expand on this please.

Doesnt seem to make logical sense. Like saying all apples, not only apples. What else is there
