sola Scriptura

Oh of course. How could I have forgotten. Which, I suppose is how the word faith replaced charity in Ephesians 3:17

That Christ may dwell by faith in your hearts; that being rooted and founded in charity.

How about let’s look at a literal translation from the original Greek.

Ephesians 3:17 that the Christ may dwell through the faith (pistis - faith, belief, trust) in your hearts, in love (agapé - love, benevolence, good will, esteem) having been rooted and founded,

Faith did NOT replace charity in Ephesians 3:17. Nor is agapé ever translated charity. So it would appear that it’s you who has changed the wording of that verse.

Don’t be hypocritical and accept *doctrinal development8 for some thing snot mentioned by name in Scripture and not others.

If it works for the eucharist, the papacy, the Trinity, and a whole host of other doctrines, then it’s inconsistent and hypocritical to disallow doctrines y’all don’t like, just because you don’t like them.
