It's not that hard.

"The Scriptures are and should remain the sole rule in the norming of all doctrine among us"


.



Yup, that's the definition.


Now, sure, people may do as the opening post requested and ADD why they think Scripture is the most sound rule for this practice... some may ADD their doctrine of Scripture but that doesn't change the definition.


Thank you.

What does it say?

What it doesn't say is of more value and it no where says use Scripture alone.


I believe that man can have an opinion of what some verse or set of verses mean and I believe that a council of the Church will settle the dispute just like in Scripture. I do understand that Sola Scripturaist do not believe such but that they interpret as they see fit blaming God for their faulty ways

*What the Bible doesn't say is of more value that what it does say.* What an interesting perspective. I am guessing, however, that if anyone were to mention that this is tantamount to claiming the Bible is incomplete, incompetent to accomplish its purpose, or unreliable, there will be impassioned denials coming back. Would that be correct?

In addition, you have now carved out a position for yourself that isn't based upon what the Bible teaches...and isn't based upon anything else in particular. That's also quite an interesting POV, to say the least.

Stop using abbreviations that can be interpreted differently, Rick.
I never claimed they do. I just claimed they have to agree with it.
Then you believe what Catholics believe, and all our doctrines do agree with Scripture.
Waiting for someone to prove otherwise.
Werdz haf meening. lol

Yes, sir!

Yes indeedy!

Yup.


Like I said, they don't have to be, they simply must agree with it.
But don't ask tad, because it has to be spelled out explicitly in his words, or he won't get it.

I've requested that the thread be closed. I made the request because of repeated and persistent off topic posting.

Good idea, considering that the question of the thread was answered and settled before even the first dozen posts were written.

Never understood this thought process. The Thread isn't going the way I want it, so even though there's alot of posting in it, and others have found it worthy of conversation, I'm going to, instead of leaving the conversation, go and have the conversation shut down.
