Interestingly, the Lord did teach them scriptures as they walked [after the Resurrection]..
He fulfilled scripture. How are you suggesting that He did not follow it precisely? Isn't God ultimately the author of scripture? Jesus taught what certain scriptural passages truly meant (at a spritual level). He did not teach anything other than Truth (of all of scripture), and He followed it perfectly. BTW, teaching to love God first and foremost, and then to love your neighbor as much as yourself encapsulates the 10 commandments. He did not change or add to it.
Hi, sweetheart.
I'm not saying that at all. You have the OT and along comes Jesus and says "You're read this, but I say this...".
No. An author is the person who writes, not the one who inspired the writing, else you could argue that Mrs Shakespeare wrote his sonnets.
I agree. Did he 'teach' these new ways by Scripture? Or, did he orally teach it. You see his WORD outstrips the words.
He did change it insofar as those who rigourously followed the written law would love their co-religionists but lose sight of 'the message'; the Pharisses and their ilk were so wrapped up in what the written word said.
any evidence that he sat them down with a textbook? Or, is it like the NT seems to point to, that he taught them word of mouth, because he knew the scriptures word for word?
I'm not stating that he didnt' know scripture. I'm stating I doubt that he needed any text to know it.
No, I think that Holy Communion is explained pretty clearly.
Communion is, and since Eucharist simply means thanksgiving, I suppose it is, also. However, the Real Presence is not.
Please explain this assertion. For instance, in Oklahoma we have Oklahoma Baptist University, St. Gregory's (Catholic College), and Mid Americal Christian College, just to name a few. How do you argue that these are secular sources?
Some people are just used to being spoon fed and having every last thing spelled out for them, I just pray that they rightly understand what their faith is teaching them . . . .My first question was if there are others. My second question was if there are any canonized (yes, biblical) sources. Sorry that I didn't make my questions clear.
I didn't answer it in the particular post you have cited here, but I did answer it in the previous post. You just won't even lift your blinders even a little . . . .
WA, you know that you have been told numerous times that is not what the ideology of Sola Scriptura means.
You might get some things right.
So, you are saying that we do not find in Scripture where pre-marital sex is sinful?
Where?
No one argues that Sola Scriptura prevents wrong discernment or misinterpretation. Sola Scriptura does not negate the teaching authority of the Church. I've said it before and I'll say it again, WA. It's just like taking a biology class--they don't just throw students in a room with a book and say figure it out on your own--though there will be those who can and will. However, teachers are provided to "teach" and "clarify" for us what is in the Biology "text book." The Bible is the Churche's text book.
Trento is the master of "cut-n-paste," and doesn't always link the source he has "cut-n-pasted" from.
That distinction is true and is as important as the distinction between inspiration of God, & inspiration of wives (mine is a goddess, BTW
).Point is, His information was scripture-based in that scripture is God-based.
Please allow me to point out that the Pharisees weren't wrapped up at all in the content of scripture or they wouldn't have missed identifying Yashua as Christ.
These are the most telling responses. Why do you waste your time even saying this if you can't provide evidence affirming it?
