I have already shown you, from the scriptures, that Jesus is the Messiah, and that he is the chief cornerstone of the foundation of the one holy catholic church. Jesus was speaking to Cephas, and not to you. Paul was writing to the Ephesians. Denying Ephesians and acceding to Corinthians is an unprofitabletradition.
As for Corinthians, the Apostle to the Gentiles is dealing with carnal and contentious souls and has to remind them there is one holy catholic apostolic church, founded on the Messiah, and that each saint is a temple of the Spirit of God, and that each saint can only have one foundation, the Messiah, followed by works by which he will be judged. You cannot repeal the foundation in Ephesians with that in Corinthians. And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours; Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

It is hard isn’t it, Race, having to endure Papists “pulling the Bible on us,”
These who choose the ECF over scripture.
Who, in thread after thread, attack Sola Scriptura.
And in support of the Papacy, which for hundreds of years KEPT PEOPLE FROM THE SCRIPTURE… turn in your Bibles or be arrested.
FRoman Catholics deny this, of course, but Mr. Rogers, in post 43, on this thread…
http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/3263031/posts?q=1&;page=51
states the truth. This quote about “Biblia Prohibita” from his post, I thought most striking:
“The first index published by a pope (Paul IV), in 1559, prohibited under the title of Biblia prohibita a number of Latin editions as well as the publication and possession of translations of the Bible in German, French, Spanish, Italian, English, or Dutch, without the permission of the sacred office of the Roman Inquisition (Reusch, ut sup., i, 264). In 1584 Pius IV published the index prepared by the commission mentioned above.
Herein ten rules are laid down, of which the fourth reads thus: ‘Inasmuch as it is manifest from experience that if the Holy Bible, translated into the vulgar tongue, be indiscriminately allowed to every one, the rashness of men will cause more evil than good to arise from it, it is, on this point, referred to the judgment of the bishops or inquisitors, who may, by the advice of the priest or confessor, permit the reading of the Bible translated into the vulgar tongue by Catholic authors, to those persons whose faith and piety they apprehend will be augmented and not injured by it; and this permission must be had in writing. But if any shall have the presumption to read or possess it without such permission, he shall not receive absolution until he have first delivered up such Bible to the ordinary.’”
Observing how these Papists handle the scripture, is almost like Obama when he, on occasion, has tried to use the scripture on us. What a joke. Neither Obama or these anti-Sola Scriptura’s know what they are talking about.
