Hello you and this is the case of the problem with sola scriptura.
Please be kind enough to read everything before posting.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
16 every Writing [is] God-breathed, and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for setting aright, for instruction that [is] in righteousness,
17 that the man of God may be fitted -- for every good work having been completed.
This is a verse people will use and it is the only verse that they can use to make Sola Scriptura work. Now as someone who believes in the bible; it is agreed by with me that this verse above is true. Though however it does not mention that the scripture is a 'LAW' book that has to be enforced in a persons life. You most certainly can share with someone that is all fine, but to make the scripture - all of it - as a 'LAWbook' is definitively wrong.
Do you know why? The reason to use scripture alone
is a fine way to kill people. You can kill them from faith in God if you are not careful.
Did you know that? The scriptures are like a doubled bladed sword, and if untrained properly you can do damage not only to yourself but you can also do damage to other people.
Let's take a look at two more scriptures to prove my own case here of the problem with Sola Scriptura and living by the scriptures alone, as side from doing
damage to yourself, and to others.
2 Corinthians 3:4-6
4 and such trust we have through the Christ toward God,
5 not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything, as of ourselves, but our sufficiency [is] of God,
6 who also made us sufficient [to be] ministrants of a new covenant, not of letter, but of spirit; for the letter doth kill, and the spirit doth make alive.
Did you know that is the as believers our
sufficiency is of God, and
not of ourselves? Read verse 5.
In verse 6 it goes on to suggest that believers are ministrants of a new covenant.
Also in verse 6: Not of the letter.
Not of the letter? What does that mean? To me it is a warning that the new covenant is not like the old covenant. The new covenant is new and can not be mixed with the old covenant otherwise there is a huge danger in that mix of
hurting yourself and others by doing so.
Still going here in verse 6 you see Paul goes on to tell the Corinthians here in his second letter that;
the sufficient to be ministrants; is of the
Spirit.
The
letter doth kill; but the
spirit make alive.
Did you know that you can use the bible as a legalistic tool that if handled unproperly can do
damage to you, and your spiritual welfare?
Be careful who you listen to out there; for there is a warning in the bible that have been made known by even the
Apostle Paul himself about mixing the letter, and the spirit together that can kill your own spirit.
2 Corinthians 3:17
17 And the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord [is], there [is] liberty;
Galatians 5:1
5 In the freedom, then, with which Christ did make you free -- stand ye, and be not held fast again by a yoke of servitude;
Remember this friend. There is freedom in Christ... relax and rejoice to the Father in heaven for what the Lord Jesus Christ - or
Lord Yeshua the Anointed One has done for all of mankind, by coming, dying, being buried, and being raised again by the Father in which we too by dying with Christ are raised up in walking in newness of life being raised back up with the Anointed One.
Be careful of what man may teach, or the doctrines they may hold on to just
think for yourself, you are allowed to have freedom of thought, expression, opinions. Am a big believer that people are allowed to have freedom.
Ask yourself this question:
Would you desire for anyone to take away your own freedom in Christ if you live by the spirit?
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you, the love of God, and the fellowship of the holy spirit.
