I get that. It isn't all that difficult to understand. What I don't understand is the claimed authority of Catholicism to undermine the authority of the God you profess had the authority to command and expect obedience by altering that command to suit the convenience of man. Your man B above...

Isaiah 8:20 informs us that scripture is our safeguard against error and the delusions of man. Whether you choose to call that Sola scriptura, or something else is entirely up to you. I see scripture as the final arbiter of faith and practice. With good reason, for I haven't witnessed, read, or...

I agree with you. But how is authority exercised? Is it not through the word of that authority? Either written, or spoken. The Bible is the written inspired word of God... His word is the expression of His authority. Just as the constitution and the bill of rights is the written expression of...

In order to support the idea that there was a change at some time in history regarding the days of the week, you would also have to convince us that in one week, everyone on the planet, Jews, Christians, Muslims, and everyone else, obligingly agreed to that change without anything being recorded...

On who's authority?

Or even worse, an authority claimed by man to be above God's word.

The same God who knows the end from the beginning inspired the prophets and the writers of the books in scripture to encompass all ages and all circumstances. The end of slavery and the acceptance of marijuana, the social aversion to polygamy and the two party political paradigm of modern...

There is an answer to this. It is true there are numerous "interpretations"... And that's the problem. The problem isn't with scripture... It's still KJV 2 Timothy 3:16 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction...

I believe there is already a real possibility of it impacting my health. But then driving a school bus in Melbourne traffic has that possibility also. I know where you're coming from. I await more evidence. It isn't a decision I would take lightly, nor is it one I've settled on yet. All...

My sincere apologies. I do remember reading this, and was going to respond but got distracted and forgot all about it. Sorry for my aspersions. I have no issues with certain traditions. But when they contradict scripture, or contradict your behavior or briefs, that is where the ideal of...

I cannot remember having the flu for over 20 years. If I start getting sniffles or a cough, I'm over it within 2 days. God has blessed me with exceptional health. I have a strong immune system. I'm not concerned about getting sick with COVID. I don't believe the vaccines are entirely useful...

Actually that has been done before, numerous times, even in this very thread personally in response to Mungo, which he chose to ignore (although I suspect he has me "on ignore" which doesn't help in communication but it is what it is) and Catholics continue to believe their traditions are more...

@Mungo , like all Catholics, accept traditions that are not only not found in scripture, but contradict scripture. Therefore according to Isaiah 8:20, there is no light in him.

If that were true I wouldn't have had anything to quote.

And I think that is so very important. If someone does believe in a dangerous error... Dangerous to him and others who may embrace it, it is far better to discuss and offer scriptural evidence of the truth and thus refuting the error, rather than just shelving him. Cancel culture is not...

Had to see for myself, and sure enough, guilty. Apologies.

KJV Isaiah 8:20 20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

Does free speech play a role in expressing one's beliefs? I could quite readily argue that two out of those four statements in the screenshot that are touted as unarguable absolute truths cannot be proved from scripture.

Did you ever hear the expression "Spelly's war"?

Using any scripture whatsoever as defense for rejecting a Commandment of God, particularly when those scriptures are misused, misapplied, misunderstood, and in some cases deliberately so, is belittling yourselves. Don't blame those who point out your errors.
