Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.
Then make sure you reprimand your RCC friends as well. They bring an aspect up, and you swoop in to call foul when we present arguments against it. That's not a dialogue, it's a monologue. Although that may be the way you prefer it since your op has been answered continuously throughout this thread yet we still keep hearing it hasn't....
You quoted me in it..............
That is not true. I quoted myself as author of the original post for this thread.
It's possible. I use the iPhone app sp I don't see post numbers, but you didn't answer my question. Are you going to act likewise when people of your own denomination do the same?
On second thought, never mind. I know the answer. It's a waste of time when one side wants to use a monologue like a battering ram to drive over arguments and herd people away from relevant points that debunk the aforementioned monologue.
Please return to the thread's topic. The current line of discussion is off topic.
The topic of this thread is defined by the original post which is shown below.
Please keep to the thread topic. It ought to supply plenty of opportunity to present views about scripture and its role in defining doctrine as well as sola scriptura as a theory of authority in the church. There's also plenty of room for presenting scripture to support one's doctrine of scripture and one's view of sola scriptura. And one can explain what the scripture and doctrine mean in one's own words so sticking with the thread topic is likely to be satisfying for anybody who wants to discuss the doctrine of scripture.
Please read the original post and adhere to the theme it sets.
That any would call the bible God is as astounding as any one calling a piece of bread God, in my poetically inspired opinion.
Poetry astounds me.
You too?
...And actually no, the practice/doctrine/tradition of worshipping the bi.... I mean sola Scriptura, is not the same as what you may knowingly henceforth refer to as "the perspicuity of scripture"
Google THAT 5 times really fast!
Just come out and say: "I do not believe God can interpret scripture by only using his scripture to ordinary people.
See post #11 where the definition is given.
Iow CaliforniaJosiah we must adhere to the misrepresentations of the RCC and it's apologists and just admit that their definitions and strawmen are the ones we must use, no matter how incorrect it is!
I read that. There's nothing in there about the bible being God.
There must be another definition where they're getting that from.
Same with scripture interpreting scripture and the perspicuity of scripture.
Any explanation as to why this could be?

I thought this was a thread about the definition of sola scriptura. Mea culpa.
It is, but post 11 is far from what was requested in the original post
It is, but post 11 is far from what was requested in the original post so rehashing it with CaliforniaJosiah is derailing the thread. Let's stick with what the original post asked, specifically
How does your denomination define its doctrine of scripture and does it have a specific section or sections that tell you that scripture alone is the only infallible rule of faith by which all controversies of religion are to be determined, and all decrees of councils, opinions of ancient writers, doctrines of men, and private spirits, are to be examined, and in whose sentence we are to rest is the Holy Spirit speaking in the holy scriptures?
If so can you quote from the official doctrinal standard, show what passages of holy scripture are used to support its declaration on this subject, and explain its meaning in your own words, please?
