Now you read that what I just typed...
read it outloud
Read it with faith and conviction.
THATs what He says .. about you and about me.
Have they been collected, or does anybody care about them that much?
It's really not that uncommon of a practice in the history of religion . Look at the mystery religions for example. Many of them expresly forbid people from writting down their teachings for the public to see. Religions also exist in non-literate cultures and they obviously don't write down all their teachings. It should also be noted that many of the stories of the OT existed in oral form long before they were eventually set to writting.
I don't think anyone is saying that the oral traditions have never been written down either. Simply that they are not all written in the Scriptures.
Anyone check the Vatican vaults?Have they been collected, or does anybody care about them that much?
Yeah, but not every truth is really important enough that MUST know it. If there's anything we do actually need to know, I doubt God would leave it out.
I don't disagree with you about that Mr.Polo... We just disagree that God is only allowed to reveal divine truth via the medium of Scripture.
Well the Thessalonian's example didnt speak againstI have another example for you (better than the Thessalonians example I gave you earlier, in my opinion).

the practice of the Bereans... did it??
Ms.Sunlover
Not at all. The Bereans were wise to consult the Scriptures that had the prophecies Paul was talking about. I think I said as much earlier.
Mr.Polo
Ok. But there's nothing that contradicts Scripture here, like Mary being born sinless, and there's no "new" doctrine, like praying to dead saints. That kinda stuff would be one of the important things it wouldn't make sense for God to leave out of Scripture.See on that we have agreement. We just disagree that God is only allowed to reveal divine truth via the medium of Scripture.
I have another example for you (better than the Thessalonians example I gave you earlier, in my opinion). Jude 1:14-15 quotes from the book of 1 Enoch 1:9. Enoch is not Scripture. Jude is employing Tradition here, advancing a theological truth he did not acquire through Scripture.

I said a few times already, I don't care about "sola scriptura". I'm open to "tradition", it just has to line up with Scripture.That's only a valid objection if you assume Sola Scriptura is true in the first place. If you accept Tradition then it makes perfect sense. The canon of the Bible is not mentioned in the Bible. You'd think something that important for Sola Scriptura would have been mentioned in the Bible.
...See where that's going?
Do you feel most of the ECFs interpretations line up with Scriptures?I said a few times already, I don't care about "sola scriptura". I'm open to "tradition", it just has to line up with Scripture.

Sola Scriptura is supposed to be if you only go by the Bible alone. Right? I don't think it means that you simply believe the Bible is ultimate authority on doctrine, but are open to extra-Biblical sources.That is Sola Scriptura.
I have always been confused on that myselfThat is Sola Scriptura.
Why is that thread closedI have always been confused on that myself

What is the true definition of Sola Scriptura?
