A Sola Christian who read two gods could listen to arguments from others about what Scripture really means. But in the end he will believe what he believes the "Holy Spirit" has told him is true. There is no earthly authority to which he must listen.

Why is it you continue to misrepresent what Sola Scriptura really is. You know full well, as St. Augustine said, it means Scripture has Paramount Authority.

Your continued misrepresentation is a transparent attempt to set up a "straw man". Why don't you just make a serious attempt to handle it in an honorable manner?

What have I misrepresented? Scripture to vmatt has "prarmount authority" and needs no interpreter except the "Holy Spirit" who told him there are two gods. Where exactly does your Sola Scriptura find the authority to counter him?

Honor? What have I misrepresented? The Holy Spirit is given to each Christian and will lead him to knowledge. There is no need to listen to a Church if it counters what the "Holy Spirit" told you Scripture means.

I'll say it a fourth time. If vmatt was a Catholic we could tell him he's wrong because a Catholic will listen to the Church over what the "Holy Spirit" told him.

As a Sola Scriptura Christian, the "Holy Spirit" telling you what Scripture means is the ultimate authority.

Now, tell me why there is not a difference between a Catholic who obeys a Church and a non who obeys "the Holy Spirit" and what it says Scripture means.

I don't appreciate being told I'm "misrepresenting" things. Prove it.
