Whoa! A hot newbie slams this thread shut! lolPerfection is found in the confession, "Thou art the Christ the Son of the Living God".
We are known in this perfection if we love one another in the Holy Spirit, and forgive one another sins, that is the total meaning of the "binding and loosing". We all share in this as we confess Christ the Son of God.

Wiki:
Binding and loosing is an originally Jewish phrase which appears in the New Testament, as well as in the Targum. In usage to bind and to loose mean simply to forbid by an indisputable authority, and to permit by an indisputable authority. The Targum to a particular Psalm implies that these actions were considered to be as effectual as the spell of an enchanter.
The poseks had, by virtue of their ordination, the power of deciding disputes relating to Jewish religious law. Hence the difference between the two main schools of thought in early classical Judaism were summed up by the phrase the school of Shammai binds; the school of Hillel looses.
Theoretically, however, the authority of the poseks proceeded from the Sanhedrin, and there is therefore a Talmudic statement that there were three decisions made by the lower house of judgment (the Sanhedrin) to which the upper house of judgment (the heavenly one) gave its supreme sanction. The claim that whatsoever [a disciple] bindor looseon earth shall be bound or loosed in heaven, which the Gospel of Matthew attributes to Jesus, is probably therefore just an adoption of a phrase popular at the time.
Paper with words written on them are inanimate, but almost everyone here calls Scripture infallible.I'm just not sure how a thing can be infallible. Things are generally inanimate.
Because it's not the "paper with words written on them" that we refer to.Paper with words written on them are inanimate, but almost everyone here calls Scripture infallible.
Do you believe that our God desired Stepford kids?Do you believe that Jesus, aka THE LORD, our perfect God, is going to give ANYONE the ability to make an INCORRECT decision regarding 'binding and loosing', considering that very decision is going to have a direct effect on heaven, aka the perfect place where the Father dwells?
Amen;Because it's not the "paper with words written on them" that we refer to.
We're referring to His Word which is very much alive and active.

God's Word is not found in writings alone. But the doctrine of 'Sola Scriptura' does indeed refer to paper with words written on them, aka Scripture.Because it's not the "paper with words written on them" that we refer to.

This isn't dodgeball...Do you believe that our God desired Stepford kids?
Ouch. Anyways, you might want to watch yourself. I won't report you or anything, but around here you're not supposed to insinuate that your fellow brethren who profess One, Triune God are idolaters or un-Christian.The paper with God's Words on them lead us to receive Christ. Sola Scriptura folk are the only folk who benefit from the subject of the matter. Not those who are idolators and follow men's teachings.

You need not be so apologetic friend...lolSorry, but that doesn't work either. The NT scriptures are not perfect.
Forgive me..

What in the NT Scriptures are imperfect? That would seem to introduce an almost insufferable amount of doubt as to the validity of our faith?

Every time I open my mouth I offend someone somewhere.
Hey Fencerguy,
Do you really fence? I always wanted to try that.
There's nothing wrong that just throws everything out the window. However it's not perfect.
Matthew, Mark and Luke say that the 'day of preperation' for the Jewish Passover was the day of the last supper.
St. John says the 'day of preperation' was the day Christ died on the cross.
It can't be both.
It can have an effect on theology, and while it is an important point to consider for correct understanding... it is not salvitic in nature nor is it dogmatic.
Forgive me...
Oh, you have no idea how much I neet to apologize.
Every time I open my mouth I offend someone somewhere.
Idle words could very well be my downfall.
Forgive me...
