St. Paul Demonstrating Sola Scriptura In Scripture

[OpenDoor]

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?

Paul taught and the Bereans checked the OT.

Catholics can post here and post their theology.

Edit - btw we are not allowed to debate Roman Catholics in their forum (OBOB)

That is true

No debate board on OBOB question

Unless I am mistaken, I haven't seen a sub board here on OBOB where a non-Catholic can debate Catholicism.

If there is one, could someone point it out to me and if there isn't one, may I ask why not? Just curious. Thank you and God bless

NO, there is no debate section in OBOB for nonCatholics.
LLOJ, if you want to debate Catholic beliefs, you need to head over to GT, and the appropriate subforum.

Do you view analysis as circular logic?

When people use it and pretend that they're doing something scientific, it doesn't make it anything but circular

 

[Kepha]

Paul taught and the Bereans checked the OT.

Checked for what? Where did they check about the Holy Spirit being the 3rd person of the Trinity. Saying "Us or We" doesn't prove a thing. Saying 'Trust me' because I trust Peter's Writing as Scripture equally doesn't prove a thing. The point of this thread is that the Bereans were sola Scriptura men so everything needed to be in the OT to satisfy them. Now satisify me and show me where Paul taught the Holy Trinity from the OT to convince men who've never even concieved the thought that it was true.

So when it is misused? I can agree with that

So did the Thessolonians, in Acts and found Paul wanting.

It sounds like you don't understand what SS is and what it is not

Can you show me where?
Some did not want to listen to Paul.

Acts 17:1-9

he reasoned with them from scriptures

According to this site, the ancient Hebrews had a circular view of time, kinda like the hoola hoop...interesting

http://www.ancient-hebrew.org/index.html

About the Ancient Hebrew Culture

Time is not linear it is circular. A clock is not a timeline but a circle for the simple reason that time does not begin or stop, it continues without beginning or end. In the same fashion days and years are also circular.

If the timeline above for the span of the earth and man is bent back onto itself we create a circle of time. With a circular view of time our perspective on the beginning and end of the earth and man change. No longer is the beginning the beginning and the end the end, but a continual cycle of beginnings and endings. While this view of time is contrary to our western way of thinking, it is consistent with other views from other cultures.

The ancient Hebrews of the Bible and the people of the orient have always understood time, the past, present and future, as circular.

Is this the Holy hoola hoop of Antioch?

Can you show me from Acts 17:1-9 where they found Paul wanting? Are you talking about where "the Jews which believed not"?

Yea, went to the dark side

Maybe he should have tried Tradition

 

[Rick Otto]

using scripture as the highest authority doesn't work for imbeciles anymore than tradition works for scholars. if tradition worked there'd only be one orthodoxy. There isn't because it doesn't.

It says some were persuaded. However

5.But other Jews were jealous; so they rounded up some bad characters from the marketplace, formed a mob and started a riot in the city.

What translation are you reading that you missed this?

1Cor.1

1. [18] For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

agree..

If either worked exclusively on their own merits there would only be one Protestant Church and one Orthodox Church. Obviously other factors are clearly at work. Can't escape private interpretation written or tradition.

I give the scriptures more weight but do not ignore tradition.

Prayer also helps.

I didn't miss that, n fact that is what I referred to v5 - "But the Jews which believed not moved with envy" - you left out - "But the Jews which believed not". I do not see where that "found Paul wanting." Some chose to hear and believe; some did not. Because they rebelled Paul was found wanting?

There is only one Orthodox Church, but that's for another debate.

It serves some here to confuse the issue by simply repeating that there is not
