Is SOLO Scriptura Scriptural?

To what end?

It's an end in itself

What the sign?

Matt 24:14 And shall be being proclaimed this, the Good-Message of the Kingdom, in whole the being-homed/oikoumenh <3625> into a testimony to all the Nations and then shall be arriving the End/teloV <5056>.

Reve 15:1 And I saw another Sign in the Heaven, great and marvelous.
Seven Messengers, having stripes/blows seven, the last, that in them is-Finished/etelesqh <5055> (5681) the fury/qumoV <2372> of the God

 

[Montalban]

In this case it might, but not in an absolute sense

 

[Rick Otto]

At least on some issues, being absolutist can involve leaving sense behind.

It's the easy way out.
The idea of it doesn't usualy even occur for me to entertain.

Which doesn't answer my question.

Read further in what I wrote. It is surprising what you find when you read the full context of what is written.

 

[Rick Otto]

You'll lose, ducking contexts, having missed the point.

teehee

It doesn't answer my question at all. You say 'men were chosen'. Who?

You've not answered my one where I ask if Mary should be referred to as Theotokos

The problem is an approach that sees a discussion as a point scoring competition

Wow looks like I haven't missed much around these parts, 'eh?

 

[Montalban]

No. There's been no evidence from scripture that we should only use scripture

One could always try to get a thread closed.

I just checked the OP; this is actually the same thread that was around before I left. It's been goin for nearly 2 years now. There's a lot of threads like that around CF though, so it's not THAT surprising.

And in two years no evidence has come to light

LittleLambofJesus likes resurrecting threads

^ That hasn't changed either. XD

You're more than welcome to join the discussion, rather than just your insights on the thread as a whole

As long as I don't get attacked for bringing up a Scripture/point previously used in-thread, why not. I'll be happy to in the morning awaiting your assurance that the aforementioned will not occur.

No one will attack you for posting scripture already used. You will however face rebuttal to points you raise

Why does it matter who the men were if they were chosen to gather the letters and put them in a book? We are disciples of Christ not of men. Why would I call Mary anything other than Mary?

Aside from not answering my question you go on to ask your own.

Knowing more on how the Bible was compiled would help. If you don't want to know, that is of course up to you.

Why would I call Mary anything other than Mary?

Well that undermines your belief that forumlae are contained in the Bible. Mary can rightly because theotokos

I have no problem answering your questions.
