Pardon me jumping into this exchange for a moment, but I'm always curious about the above defense used to argue against the principal of sola scriptura. I notice, for instance, that Paul didn't continue his thought with "... and feel free to make up more going forward."
“I notice, for instance, that Paul didn’t continue his thought with “... and feel free to make up more going forward.”
Why would he? Your comment is based on a premise is it not? Go ahead and state the premise. Your premise can only be the following: “Gee, we all know Catholics make stuff up so when they cite St. Paul on tradition they must assume he meant that it was okay to make up stuff and pass it off as sacred tradition.” Isn’t that what your suggesting?
