Hi all, I was suprised coming back and there was already 5 pages of comments.
I have not read all the comments yet but nice to see some active friendly discussion going on.
I see no one has provided any scriptures yet to answer any questions from the OP here.
I see lot's of side issues going on but for the sake of keeping on topic to the OP, I am just reposting this here...
Can anyone please show me where in all the bible does is say (SOLA SCRIPTURA; Scripture only please)...
