I haven't time to go though all the rubbish you have written.
So I will wind up with this post.
As I understand it Sola Scriptura says every doctrine must be proved from scripture alone.
Sola Scriptura is a doctrine. But it cannot be proved from scripture alone. Therefore according to Sola Sciptura it is false.
I can only recall you giving 2 scriptures to try and prove Sola Scriptura:
1. Is 8:20 - which I showed does not support Sola Scriptura in any way.
2. 2 Tim 3:16 -which I showed does not support Sola Scripture either.
You never responded to my refutations. And as far as I know you have not provided any others.
Until you do the rest of your posts are just hot air.
Thank you. You quote Sola Scriptura accurately. And you reject it, because of your willingness to go outside Scripture for your faith.
Therefore, you obviously must reject Sola Scriptura, and your demand for Scriptural proof of Sola Scriptura is a nonsensical diversion, since you already reject Scripture as the proof of all doctrine of God.
Yet we went ahead with your demand, because we love Scripture, and offered Scripture to prove itself, and of course you reject it out of hand, since Scripture is not the source of your faith: as you have said,
"One can believe in God without Scripture."
Also, I agree. I'm pretty much done with you. I have your measure, and I have learned the main error of your rejection of Sola Scriptura:
'Outside Sources': the sources of all things spoken and written outside of Scripture and taught for doctrine of God. They are sources for all outside traditions, that are by definition apart and separate from Scripture, and so are the false traditions and doctrines of men, they are neither of God, nor His Word.
There are no outside sources for Scripture of God. God is the source of all Scripture. God did not look to what man had to say about Him, and then had it written as Scripture, because God believed man.
The doctrine of 'outside sources' is the doctrine of all idolatry. Once we are willing to believe anything outside of Scripture as true of God, then we are willing to believe and do anything outside of the written truth and will of God: idolatry.
'Outside sources' are the sources of men believing their own word to be that of God, outside of the written Word of God: they believe themselves to be prophets and apostles of God, when they are instead false prophets and apostles of false gods, that are separate from and work against Scripture.
The tree of the knowledge of good and evil is the outside source.
It is the source of all 'outside sources', and the fruit of that tree is product of all outside traditions and commandments apart from Scripture, where men eat thereof thinking themselves to be as gods, to know good and evil.
Sola Scriptura believes only God's Word is good, and that His good Word is written in Scripture, and all Scripture is written in His book, called the Bible.
Those who reject Sola Scriptura say they believe both Scripture as good and outside sources apart from Scripture, equally as good: they believe both good and evil, because there are no good sources of God outside His written Word.
They know both Scripture and outside sources apart from Scripture, and believe both to be of the same God, and so their god is not the true God, that never goes outside of His own Word, which is His written will.
We cannot believe both Scripture and outside sources apart from Scripture, and believe only the true God of Scripture, and we cannot eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge, which is all outside tradition apart from Scripture, and also eat of the tree of Life:
And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
The tree of Life is Scripture:
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
We cannot drink and eat of the cup and the table of Jesus Christ and that of devils. (1 Cor 10:21)
Outside sources are men believing devils, having their authority from that old serpent and dragon, who gives them a mouth to speak both the great things of God from Scripture, and the blasphemies of outside traditions, as being equal. (Rev 13:5)
They love to intermix and entangle Scripture with traditions outside of Scripture: as toes of iron and clay, where the clay prevents the iron from sharpening iron in the minds of them that believe.
Those who reject Sola Scriptura claim to believe both Scripture from God, and outside traditions from outside sources of the devil. They are deceivers of themselves and of others, and the truth is not in them, because they believe not Jesus' words
only, and they nullify Scripture in order to believe their devils' doctrines.
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
It is hypocrisy to claim faith in the true God of Scripture and in the lying gods of outside sources, because God does not give any man to eat both of the tree of Life, and of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil: neither can both sweet and bitter water come from the same fountain. (James 3:11)
Who is it that forbids certain men to marry, and command to abstain from certain meats?
Those that reject Sola Scriptura. They will believe anything and call it 'God'. And Scripture is not even necessary to believe God. Their traditions alone can save.
