Gods word became Flesh.
Blessed are those who have not seen but believe. For now we have the written accounts. Faith cometh by hearing and hearing the word of God. For without faith a man cannot please God. This is simple truth.
The Part of where you stated that the church is Christ? I didn't want to assume anything.
we don't rely on ourselves. We rely on the written word of God. For Gods word is His prefect law. His word is His precepts. His word has been tested and proven. Here is what King David said.
Show me in scriptue where the church is Christ please. The church is Christ bride and body. But there is only one Christ. We all are ambassadors of Christ.
Why do you continue to cite Scritpure that speaks of His Word which actually means everything He said to us whether by Preaching or in the Bible as if your making a case here in defending Sola Scritpure? That's like saying when Jesus spoke it was not His Word until He wrote it down.
If you are following wrong or false teachings, it does not matter who your are relying on. The age of the teaching does not establish it as truth. God must allow somehow that individuals are individually able to discern the truth, if not how would such a loving God hold us accountable for things of which we know no better?
It's not and we don't. Just because you operate according to such myths on a daily basis, don't expect the rest of us to do the same.
And?
Racer, are you saying that you at the present time, have this gift of discernment and know for a fact that when other Bible alone believers are preaching doctrine that conflict with yours, that they are 100 percent wrong and you are 100 percent right?
What I'm saying is exactly what I said. I'm no scholar and what I said is pretty strait forward. I am not responsible for any incorrect inferences you've made. What I said in no way means, resembles or even implies the twisted comment you've posted above.
Because God had men pen His word. We see this in the OT we see it in the NT. God is faithful my friend. He does not change as the turning of the moon. He is a stable rock. One we can put our Hope in. He had men write down His word and precepts.
We see in the New Testament God gave us His Apostles to teach and preach before a pen even hit the paper. We also see men like Moses or Aaron leading the People and keeping them in check and not Scripture alone. If the writings only were to be so important, don't you think God Himself would have made sure to clarify this throughout over and over in His New Testament? Don't you think Jesus would have at least made one command to the Apostles to write. But He didn't did He.
And we also see in the OT that men taught a preached before it was all written. But the thing is that is was written. This was so every generation could have Gods word. To hide in our hearts. This is why the word was written. John tells us why he wrote.
Don't you find it odd that the Jews (minus the Holy Spirit) had nowhere near the denomination splintering your Bible alone has brought you guys. Makes one go "hmmmmmmmm".
That's your tradition speaking. You were taught this and it's tough to see another side at the moment. It may come one day when you do start to ponder on your Bible alone dogma. Not saying you will but I wouldn't write you off just yet. God's Will is done on His time and not ours.
and your tradition speaks how? sorry, but no, and in ref. to the other thread in here about Gertrude...you made it clear. If that is how you think neat...but...I disagree!That's your tradition speaking. You were taught this and it's tough to see another side at the moment.
