how many Protestant sects are there?

you call that unity of faith

The many different denominations is the evidence that Sola Scriptura is the Way and that denominations, with RCC at the top, are NOT the Way to go.
Any other proof you have - thank you

it may have been recorded later by Luke but when it came unto John it was the word of God but not scripture

Lk 24:25

Then Jesus said to them, “O foolish ones, how slow are your hearts to believe all that the prophets have spoken!"

This again is Sola Scriptura = Jesus (the Word) is pointing the Disciples back to Scripture which is the Word, which is Sola Scriptura.

there are no denominations in scripture only one true church, one new covenant, one kingdom one body of Christ Jn 10:16

prophets have authority to speak or teach

you’re also a disciple why do you think these disciples have a privilege that you don’t have

He opened the scripture to them so the “Bible alone” is not enough

we too are taught by Christ

thru his church and his apostles

Eh 4:20 But ye have not so learned Christ;

21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:

Follow what you said here - "He opened the scripture to them so the “Bible alone” is not enough"

You PROVE Sola Scriptura in this "He opened the scripture to them" and you DISPROVE your own argument by ending with "Bible alone is not enough".

You will have to ask the "self-appointed forum catholic authority".... BOL :p

you call that unity of faith

I would say the UNITY of FAITH IS FULLY Encompassed IN:.
Heartful Confession of Belief that Jesus is the Christ the Son of the Living God....

Do you have to CALL YOUSELF A CATHOLIC...
TO BE UNIFIED in that "heartful belief" ?
NOT ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURE

Any other irrelevant deflections?

What is the pillar and ground of truth?


what is the basis for our faith?

Did Christ give a rule of faith?

Does the rule of faith universally applicable?

This is for us who know and for you to find out............

Here is your 1st Clue - Matthew 25: 1-13

You also said "that's it" in response to "Heartful Confession of Belief that Jesus is the Christ the Son of the Living God..."

YES - THAT is IT = For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
