    Sola Scriptura - does this foundation make you a heretic

    More mindless ranting. The Church has the right and the authority to determine the primary day of worship , which is already in scripture. It's only been the last 100-150 years that bizarre sabbitarian cults have sprung up. They have no history. And I asked for a link to your source on Laodicea...

    Sola Scriptura - does this foundation make you a heretic

    None of this has anything to do with the Just War Doctrine. Like I said, the Protestant Inquisition was worse.

    Sola Scriptura - does this foundation make you a heretic

    You make empty assertions with no substance. The Bible flowed from the Catholic Church, a church didn't pop out of a book. You have no evidence of anything being added to Scripture. Do you know who the Gnostics were that Luke is referring to? And if you are suggesting that future bishops are...

    Sola Scriptura - does this foundation make you a heretic

    "none effect through your tradition," get it? your tradition, the ones they made up. ALL tradition as being bad is a false man made tradition. They are not all bad. I never said Timothy was an Apostle. He was a bishop as defined by his function. Preach the word , do the work of an evangelist...

    Sola Scriptura - does this foundation make you a heretic

    That was written by Constantine as a civil law, not a religious law. Sunday as the first day of the week was well established by the Apostles 300 years previous, as shown in scripture. It doesn't say that. You get cut off for Judaizing. Why you make a fuss over how things were handled in the...

    Provide a link. These are phony anti-Catholic sources.

    I can participate on Saturday late afternoon Mass and fulfill my Sunday obligation. You make a lot of noise over nothing.

    Sola Scriptura - does this foundation make you a heretic

    The Protestant Inquisition was worse. You don't want to me to disprove the unbiblical, unworkable, illogical, unhisorical man made tradition of sola scriptura so you throw up this rant, as if these things happened yesterday.

    Sola Scriptura - does this foundation make you a heretic

    There were no changes made. All the ECF were unanimous on infant baptism. Augustine clarified what was always there, he didn't "decide" on infant baptism. The topic is sola scriptura. No ECF is inspired. Even infallible declarations are not inspired. Only scripture is inspired. It is impossible...

    Yes but was it without human beings? Was it like POOF!, there's a Bible!

    Sola Scriptura - does this foundation make you a heretic

    The essence of the meaning is the same. You are splitting hairs with a different translation. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, is a simplified definition of Tradition that doesn't fit your preconceptions. Changing the meaning of Tradition (straw...

    Sola Scriptura - does this foundation make you a heretic

    Let's not confuse inspiration with canonization. Inspiration occurred at the moment they were written. Canonization means they were proven to be inspired, and made binding on the whole Church. Scripture was not just assumed to be inspired. In order for Protestants to exercise the principles of...

    Sola Scriptura - does this foundation make you a heretic

    I fully agree with these verses, what I disagree with is the constant abuse by sola scripturists when they exclude verses 13 & 14. It's because those verses demolish the SS position. 2 Timothy 3: [14] But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, (Tradition)...

    Sola Scriptura - does this foundation make you a heretic

    Does that mean that no Christian had the spirit until the 4th century when the whole Bible was fully realized? Or do you adhere to Bible origin fantasies?

    Sola Scriptura - does this foundation make you a heretic

    The writers of sacred scripture did not have ultrasound, advanced microscopes, pregnancy test kits and X-ray machines. They knew that conception took place, but they didn't understand WHEN. Psalm 139: 13 For it was you who formed my inward parts; you knit me together in my mother’s womb...

    It is not in the bible.....sola scripture

    1 Cor. 2:16 – Paul’s question, “who has known the mind of the Lord?” references Wisdom 9:13. 1 Cor. 6:12-13; 10:23-26 – warning that, while all things are good, beware of gluttony, follows Sirach 36:18 and 37:28-30. 1 Cor. 8:5-6 – Paul acknowledging many “gods” but one Lord follows Wis. 13:3...

    It is not in the bible.....sola scripture

    Because Esther is included in the Septuagint that Jesus and the apostles used. Matt. 2:16 – Herod’s decree of slaying innocent children was prophesied in Wis. 11:7 – slaying the holy innocents. Matt. 6:19-20 – Jesus’ statement about laying up for yourselves treasure in heaven follows Sirach...

    It is not in the bible.....sola scripture

    It was not accepted by the heretic Nestorius. That is why the Council of Ephesus was convened. You are missing the point. Heretics found their false teachings in scripture alone apart from the Tradition it flowed from. There were no Protestants in the 5th century. Complex Chalcedonian...

    It is not in the bible.....sola scripture

    The basis of CC teachings is truth. What is the date that the Church "lost it's way"? The standard answer is "gradually". OK, then what was the first official false proclamation? They are all written down. The Bible says it is impossible for the Church to "loose it's way". To disregard that is...

    It is not in the bible.....sola scripture

    Genesis does not say "Adam knew her not", and no one has claimed that Eve was a perpetual virgin. You are playing a word game association with the word "knew". It appears 174 times in the KJV OT, and 77 times in the NT. If you apply "had sex with" to any random selection it gets really silly...
