Hard to believe, given I've got a dozen or so within a short walk of where I sit.
And back to the "(insert number here)of denominations" canard again...
I don't know, sola scripturists invented the concept, you tell me how many denominations you have.
Until then, I've still got a dozen or so sola scripturist denominations within five minutes of where I sit.
Would you like me to name them for you?
*sigh* I'm not even going to bother to, once again, explain your misunderstanding of Sola Scriptura. You've been corrected numerous times, so the only conclusion I can come to is that you're being purposefully disingenuous.
No, sola scripturists are honestly confused
Sorry, I'm having a difficult time discerning whether your asking if I think scripture interprets scripture or the bible is God.
At any rate, I'm Catholic and Catholics don't believe either of those.
No, those who adhere to Sola Scriptura are not confused, as this thread has easily shown. You're being disingenuous when you pursue the same line that has been refuted multiple times.
What is your denomination's definition of sola scriptura? Surely they don't default to post #11.
If you don't want to give it to me, just tell me the name of your denomination and I'll look it up myself.
Tad, we've been over this. You've been nothing but disingenuous since you were informed. As a Reformed Baptist, I hold to Sola Scriptura. The bible is the sole infallible rule of faith and doctrine for the church. Stop trying to find wiggle room in the slightly different verbiage. Sola Scriptura is Sola Scriptura. You don't like it, I understand. It disproves a number of your denomination's dogmas, but that isn't our problem.

Do you believe Paul taught something different from what he wrote down? Or is it more likely that the tradition he's speaking of is what he taught that is exactly the same as what he preached?
Gal 1:6-9 "Though we (Apostles) or an Angel from heaven should teach a different Gospel ... let him be accursed".
You know, since I've become the topic of so many posts I've thought that I should start a thread about me, but in lieu of that let me just say the Catholic Church agrees with my personal reading of scripture 100%.
How do you define sola scriptura?
Nice to meet you too.

Spoken like a true evangelical who doesn't understand that Christianity itself is a Religion and places their own interpretation of Scriptures above everyone else because only they are right and has God conform to him though denies such and poo poo's Traditional Christianity in favor of the ever trendy meianityI think the thing is, I do not hold to any religion. I confess Jesus Christ as the one true God, and I ask for my understanding as commanded to in the bible. If any, any, of my belief systems oppose the word of God, it must immediately be shot in the head like a zombie, and left to rot so it doesn't bite someone else. I wouldn't even consider to judge God, and expect him to conform to my own belief systems.
Jesus is a stumbling block, and the word of God can not be understood by the carnally minded. Which means they stub a lot of toes. Also, Christianity is about self abasement, and mortification of the flesh. I do not see where there is room to draw lines with God in what will and will not be accepted as His truth, by us, His creation. We need to ask the only one who knows the answers.

What you're describing is a religion. It's not a very formal or highly structured religion, but it's a religion.When I need insight I pray. I ask the holy spirit to reveal his insight to me in Christ Jesus name, and I ask Jesus to forgive my pride in thinking I have the answers. Why? If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God....I ask because I believe God has the answers. I receive answers because I am not wavering in that faith.
The written revelation of Christ.
But I wouldn't believe that if the Catholic Church didn't compel me.

That's because we ARE mammals.Semantics, just like us humans beings are classified as mammals
