Here's one: The Church possesses the infallible teaching authority given to it by Christ."Listen to the church... If he won't listen to the church, treat him as a pagan or tax collector." --Jesus
Ah, still posting this verse, wrested from its rightful context of the LOCAL church arbitrating between two believers involved in a dispute. As such, it doesn't say anything about tradition.
OTOH, "the Bible alone is the SOLE rule of faith" isn't in the Bible.
Scripture alone testifies of itself that it is inspired by God and sufficient for teaching, reproof and correction to mature believers. Scripture itself testifies it feeds the soul. There is no other source testified to by Scripture. Why would anyone accept anything less than what God's Spirit moved men to write as the final rule of faith?
Another Tradition is the canon of Scripture.The Church has the Christ-given authority to determine the canon of Scripture.
Well, not anywhere in Scripture did Christ give authority to determine the canon.
How do Protestants determine the canon of Scripture infallibly?"The Bible is a fallible collection of infallible books." --R.C. Sproul (Protestant)
I don't always agree with Sproul, but in this instance, he is correct. God has worked in history, through men to identify Scripture. Sometimes men make mistakes. Just look at what had to be removed from the canon.
It will be interesting what today will bring concerning this tactic.
Will it be similar to cherry picking?
Will it be justified in some other way?
Stay tuned...
