Sola Scriptura is overrated, the first christians didn't need it so neither do we.

@Albion - I'm not entirely sure. If I knew how to program the quotes I'd do that.

I pressed reply, and so i quote you automatically.

I agree that it seems as though this system should work better, especially with that very ordinary procedure.

Not using "reply" makes it hard to go back and see what post is being quoted. Tagging still shows up in notifications though

I'm pretty sure it's related to my browser settings. At least reply works.

If I'm not mistaken, you quote the entire post that way, but if the intention is to rearrange things or take something from a different post to incorporate into the reply, it's still necessary to type in quote and /quote with brackets, right?

@davidcrosby @Albion @W2L - I really like discussing scripture obviously, I have issues about how it is applied. So when I come out and say ... sola scriptura is not necessary ... probably relates to the Sola part, there are many ways God speaks to us. But in focusing solely on scripture as a means to hear from God, the natural sense of compassion becomes lost. There needs to be balance.

Yes we do need the Holy Spirit with His promptings and leading. Like the Law says: do not murder... But the Holy Spirit says "love your neighbor." So in reference to what your saying, no we don't have to open God's word for our every decision...we have the mind of Christ and should take every thought captive to thereof. But still, His word is His word in Truth with the essence of His being that we know what we know that He wants us to know.

If I'm not mistaken, you quote the entire post that way, but if the intention is to quote less than that, or take something from a different post to incorporate into the reply, it's still necessary to type in quote and /quote with brackets, right?

You can select and delete or backspace what you want to delete, the brackets are already there.
If you want to quote multiple posts, you '+ Quote' the messages you want to quote and then you press 'Insert quote' bottom left in your message cadre, then you get a pop up asking you to insert them, click 'quote these messages'.

Multi quote was hard for me to figure out. I couldn't get it to work at first. After you hit multi quote on each post you are quoting, and you hit reply on the last one (I think), you then must hit "insert these quotes"

Yeah, I hit the +Quote it turns to -Quote, but does not add to multiquote. Reply works fine and that's all I need. I appreciate the help.

 

[W2L]

You don't need to hit reply at all, just use the (+quote) on each post you want to quote, then click on the reply box at bottom of the page, then look to the far left bottom and click (insert these quotes)

Look for the button that says "insert quotes", it will be at the far left side of the "post reply" button

yeah the button disappeared. It's no biggie.

Yeh, maybe I just didn't perform the sequence correctly. I'll give it some practice and see. Meanwhile, thanks for your replies. They at least confirm to me that it should work for me that way.

yes. you can even use multi quote to quote posts from one thread and post them in another thread.

Once again, we are faced with a poster denouncing Sola Scriptura but not knowing what the term means.

In my defense, nobody seems to know what it means. Or, at least, nobody seems to agree on what it means. The word can mean almost anything considering the number of different definitions I've heard.

Its not Catholic apparently, we know that much.

So like with the oxford english dictionary, the applied definition is what that matters.
