RB:
What reply do you have to post 137 where your ineffective defence of the Protestant claim that “all truth and doctrine can be found only in the Holy Scriptures” was soundly defeated?
ealgeone:
Soundly defeated?? LOL!
See my post 148.
RB:
Your post 148 does nothing to redeem your lie that II Timothy proves that no doctrine exists outside of that found in Scripture.
Where in Scripture does it claim that
“If the ECFs cannot be relied upon as being true witnesses of what the OAs originally taught we are left with only one authoritative source: Scripture.” ?
Scrioture is God's word to us. It was penned for a reason.
Without Scripture we rely upon man's reason which can and often does lead to very bad theology. See the immaculate conception discussion.
If the Bible isn't our truth then all other books and beliefs are allowable.
Does the Bible contain all knowledge? No. No one claims that. It does tell us how to have salvation and how we can know God.
We have this example also.
Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so. Acts 17:11 NASB
The appeal to Scripture as the ultimate source is well attested to in the Bible...both Old and New Testaments.
