-— I have no doubt if the traditional RCs here had their way, FR would be another “Catholic Answers,” with their immature wanne inquisitors disallowing whatever disrespects the object of their devotion. ——
The other day elsie told me that I didn’t have his “permission” to quote the Bible “out of context.”
You can ask him what that’s supposed to mean, but it seems like a strange position for someone who swears by Luther’s dogma of “the Bible alone” as the sole or ultimate rule of faith.
Did Luther tell us which verses we should quote?
Yes, it would be indeed inconsistent to forbid you to quote the Bible even if out of context as a matter of free speech as per the context here, versus out of context quotes being disallowed as having validity. As in sound exegesis disallows you from using out of context quotes to prove your point. But as you fail to reference what Elsie said about out of context quotes the we cannot see if you are quoting him out of context.
Not much of an argument, but such are many of those from RCs, including some of yours in the past i am still awaiting responses to.
Did Luther tell us which verses we should quote?
His preaching provides examples, but unlike Rome, Luther never provided a binding decree on what books constitute Scripture, nor dissent from a binding canon, nor fail to include the apocryphal books in his Bible itself (in separate section), despite Cath canards to the contrary.
15 But if thy brother shall offend against thee, go, and rebuke him between thee and him alone. If he shall hear thee, thou shalt gain thy brother.
16 And if he will not hear thee, take with thee one or two more: that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may stand.
17 And if he will not hear them: tell the church. And if he will not hear the church, let him be to thee as the heathen and publican.
