“You never answered my question.”
Sure I did. Perhaps it was not an answer you liked? Perhaps you missed it?
I will help by kindly answering you again...
Your question presumes a truth that is false. As such, your question is based on a logical fallacy. To answer it as you phrased it is to assume the presupposition is true, which it is not.
The Holy Scriptures do not have to explicitly state a doctrine in the words you prefer for the doctrine to be absolutely true.
The doctrine of the Triune God is not stated anywhere as, “God is Triune.” The doctrine is composed of the full revelation of God’s nature as revealed in all of Scripture.
I also pointed out that the remaining alternative is to assume with every pagan, that beliefs outside the inspired Scripture are an equal or higher standard than Scripture itself. Scripture teaches the opposite.
Best.
It isn’t a question of whether Scripture is or is not a source of revealed truth. Of course it is.
Which came first, the Church, or the New Testament?
Between the Church and the New Testament: Which did Jesus found, and which did he never mention?
