>> “Revelation 22:18....”

>> “Is about the Book of Revelation. It is NOT about the entire Bible..”

Completely nonsensical.

It is just a repeat of the same admonishment found in Deuteronomy 12, and both of them cover every word Yehova has given us.

He gave us nothing but scripture, so sola Scriptura is just common sense.

There are no “special people” nor is there any secret knowledge.

When the Roman Church was following Jesus Christ and was led by His spirit, they did something very good: Assembled the New Testament Cannon!

“Completely nonsensical.”

No, it absolutely makes sense. And that’s probably why you won’t deal with what I posted.

“It is just a repeat of the same admonishment found in Deuteronomy 12, and both of them cover every word Yehova has given us.”

No. Read the actual quote: “18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.”

Did you see these references? 1) “prophecy of this book” - not all of scripture is a prophecy - but Revelation is. 2) “plagues that are written in this book” - not all of scripture discusses plagues - but Revelation does. 3) “book of life, and out of the holy city” - that’s a clear reference to what came immediately in the same chapter and earlier in Revelation. “Book of life” is mentioned only in Philippians and Revelation, for instance.

What I said is indisputable. And you’re proving it.

“He gave us nothing but scripture, so sola Scriptura is just common sense.”

He gave us much more than “nothing but scripture”. If you knew the Bible, ironically, you would know this. Read John 14:26, for instance to know what else God gave us.

“There are no “special people” nor is there any secret knowledge.”

Jesus picked 12. If that isn’t “special”, what is? And clearly you must believe in “secret knowledge” or else you could post at least one verse that mentions or describes sola scriptura - but you can’t. So you must believe in it based on some sort of “secret knowledge”. Did you figure it out with a CrackerJack box decoder ring or some other Protestant whimsy?
