That is probably a good idea. What makes you think you are familiar enough with Catholicism to comment?
You're right. We seem to have drifted from the topic.
Regarding sola scriptura, it is the Catholic position that doctrinal truth is founded on not just Scripture alone, but the three pillars of Holy Scripture, Holy Tradition (as handed down by apostolic succesion), and the teaching authority of the Church (Magesterium). It is also the Catholic position that sola scriptura cannot be proved Biblically. But my wife is sola scriptura, so what's a soul to do? I just take it as something she sincerely believes, and I respect that.
Standing Up said:Work two different shifts?
How does she define SS?

The Bible is 'the words of God'. Which cannot be disproved.How do you know though? Books not included also contained within themselves claims to being inspired.
Are you saying the Bible is not 'the words of God'?You're exampling circular logic.
Are you saying the Bible is not 'the words of God'?
You actually know that?I know 99.99% of the people here on GT believe the Bible is the word of God.
If the Bible is not 'the words of God' then what is it???Let me try another example. Say we both believe the sky is blue but you believe it's because ever morning trolls paint it that colour then the reasons why you believe something would interest me, even if you believe that the sky is blue, as I do.
So far as I can see, your reasoning for believing the bible is circular. It's 'the Word of God' because it's in the bible. How do you know? It's in the bible!
You shouldn't make statements you can't back up.yes, I just phoned every GT member and did a straw-poll
So which is it? The word of God or not?Did I say that the bible is not the word of God? I don't believe I did.
It's a requirement of being on GT to adhere to a set of beliefs. Check out the rulesYou shouldn't make statements you can't back up.

Evasive!I'm more than happy to say that the Bible contains the word of God.
Because it says so.So, how do you know the bible contains the word of God?
Are you saying that you know more than the words of God, the Bible?I accept that we should have faith in our beliefs, but it should be a reasoned faith.
Circular-logic is a 'reason', but not a good one.
