CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Well that sort of depends on which tradition of sola scripture you come from.Radagast said:There's no significant difference between Sola Scriptura and the Catholic view of tradition, except in degree . . .

These traditions vary greatly in teaching and in practice.

That makes no sense. Sola Scripture isnt complicated and it doesnt come in degrees.Radagast said:There's no significant difference between Sola Scriptura and the Catholic view of tradition, except in degree . . .

Catholic view it as the written down part of Gods revelation to man, Protestants views it as the only revelation God gave to man, ergo sola scripture.

When I used to be a protestant, I understood sola scripture is not so much as a book which one interprets with the holy spirit supposedly guiding him/her, rather it's understood as what the believer is to believe without including some ungodly beliefs/practices like including voodooism or other witchcraft-related practices.
In other words, I used to believe in sola scriptura because I didn't want to introduce some sort of bizarre practices which have absolutely no foundation in scripture. It was more or less seen as a kind of safety net. Of course, in my view, that position ironically is not without significant problems. But that's why many protestants believe adhere to sola scriptura. It seems they simply see it as a safety net, while Catholics see a completely different perspective, which most, if not all of us would agree has problems.

By degrees, well not exactly. By definition or essence, yes there are various forms of Sola Scriptura.

Well, there are some groups who basically say "If it aint in the Bible, it aint true!"
Others use tradition as a rough guide to interpreting Scripture, but still hold Scripture as the final authority.
This is why a Lutheran can believe in the Perpetual Virginity of Mary, and the Immaculate Conception, while a Southern Baptist would probably never even consider it. They have different understandings of "sola scriptura."

Scripture can never be interpreted in a vacuum.

So what then? If you don't want to believe it you don't have to? If you do, then fine?? I don't get it, what makes tradition okay in some beliefs and not in others?

It is the degree to the place given to the bible . . whether it is bible alone, or bible along with tradition . ..
But in protestantism, even in groups where they make room for tradition along with the bible, the bible is held as supreme OVER tradition . . . it is held higher than tradition . .
And that doesn't make sense to me, for the bible needs to be interpreted, so whatever does the interpreting is actually a higher authority than what is interpreted . . .
