No. None of that is as you're trying to make it be. First, I cannot make any judgments on the basis of one post and one or two words in it. I would at least have to do a much more careful study.
We are not talking rocket science here Albion, it is really quite simple.
He (major1) said.....
"However....I would suggest the writings of God as found in the written Word of God as what He said is the only truth." When he says the "written Word of God" , it's seems pretty obvious he is talking about the bible.
Then you posted......"Sola Scriptura does not "say" that the Bible is the only truth." So, between two adherents of sola scriptura, who has it right, you or him? What's so difficult about that?
Second, to do what you are asking, to guess at what a third party meant, is not fair to him.
Lol! It never seems to be a problem when the poster is Catholic!
Talk to me, if you wish, about Sola Scriptura and my own beliefs.
Thought I was.
If that's true, then someone is wrong, isn't that so?
Ahhh....That's been my question to you.
But if it is correct, then it's not that Sola Scriptura is false but that there are people who, like yourself, don't understand what it's all about.
Well, as a non-believer of this doctrine, can you blame me or anyone else for not understanding with so many different variants of it?
No, I'm not. I don't know what every member of every other denomination believes, even if those churches have official statements of belief.
Exactly, that's why I said what I said above!
I've explained the meaning of Sola Scriptura to you in a number of ways already. You apparently don't "get it,"
No, I get it. I get the fact that your hesitation to call out the poster (major1) on his different belief/interpretation of Scripture and yours would show the dis-unity between a couple of self proclaimed sola scripturist Protestants. Something that's been a conundrum for all of Protestantism since it's very short existence. (historically speaking) That I get........ loud and clear!
I have concluded as much because you cannot seem to stay with the topic here (what does Sola Scriptura refer to?) and instead keep trying to find fault with the people you think are adherents of Sola Scriptura.
Okay, so which of the many Protestant and non-denominational churches and sects believers are not adherents to the belief of Sola Scriptura?
As I have mentioned before, the Catholic denominations all claim to use Holy Tradition in order to determine dogma...and no two of them, looking at the same alleged traditions, have come up with the same doctrines.
First off, Swag365 addressed this quite well on post #700.
Secondly, There are no denominations within the Catholic Church. There are Rites though (23), all in full communion with the Holy See.
Have a Blessed day!
