It doesn't matter every time you all mention that your lumping us together, would you like to be lumped with a criminal all the time. Yes I do believe in OrthodoxyI don't think you believe in Mormonism (or Orthodoxy)
I presume that you believe in Roman Catholicism.
Just because you trust Him doesn't mean you're right does it since you are a fallible sinful human being. So why you said all that above is beyond me.I completely and wholeheartedly trust the Holy Spirit to lead me to all truth concerning the things of God. Our Lord Jesus said, "However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come" (John 16:13, emphasis added). If someone tells me something contrary to what is written in the Scriptures, than I will reject it outright. I test all things against Scripture (1 Thessalonians 5:21) and I pray for understanding and discernment.
I'll simplify this for you and just focus on this one part since everything else you said feeds off this interpretation. In that passage, "All Scripture" meant 'All Scripture' available at that present time.(1) If "All Scripture" only refers to the Old Testament, than every single word written in every book of the New Testament should be rejected as Scripture.
Don't know whatever the little wafers are. I believe the East and West are two lungs of the true Church and hope for the schism to be over someday between the twoI have a feeling that you are being disingenuous...
Do you use leavened or unleavened bread in communion?
If we were to have a serious conversation about Church Authority and One True Church why wouldn't they be brought up?It doesn't matter every time you all mention that your lumping us together, would you like to be lumped with a criminal all the time.
Since Paul was preaching Christ, He surely must have preached to them about Him also being the 2nd Person of the Holy Trinity as well so they could grasp the significance of God's Sacrifice here. So where from the OT did He reason with them to prove the Holy Spirit to be the 3rd Person of the Holy Trinity? I mean according to you, they were all sS minded people, so even if not then, He'd eventually have to once they converted.Acts17:[10] And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
[11] These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
Sola Scriptura is simply searching the scriptures to see if whatever you hear from wherever is true (within context). This passage also shows how the NT gospel Paul was telling them could be verified by the types & shadows as well as the prophecies in the OT scriptures.
Then God said, “Let us (plural) make mankind in our image, (plural) in our likeness, (plural) so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”Since Paul was preaching Christ, He surely must have preached to them about Him also being the 2nd Person of the Holy Trinity as well so they could grasp the significance of God's Sacrifice here.

Of course it does. So for them, it meant ALL the Scriptures (which happened to be the OT) at that time.AMEN and AMEN and AMEN!!!ALL SCRIPTURE means ALL SCRIPTURE.
Let us could mean 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 etc persons. Again, show me where God is but 3 and that 3rd Person of the Trinity is described in the OT that Paul would have had to teach the Bereans.Then God said, Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.
So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
Genesis 1:26-27
Catholics can post here and post their theology.I'm fairly new here... but aren't Roman Catholic arguments supposed to be in their own forum for that? I really do not know...but I can see how there isn't any real discussion when RCC enters a thread.
As for the Holy Spirit in the OT...how's this verse?
[FONT=Georgia, Garamond, serif] "And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease."--Numbers 11:25.[/FONT]
Well, grounds for it simply won't do if God left us Writings to the important things. I want something explicit. I mean don't tell me you expect the Bereans to just trust Paul to fill in the OT Blanks regarding the OT with His more explicit oral word do you?Right!
Since there are grounds for it, that would satisfy SS.
Yeah so?Peter recognized Paul's writings as scripture.
