***1) What did scripture rule should be done in Galileo's case?***

"And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?"

Christians weren't called to right every wrong or chase every goose in the world.





***2) Have your forgotten that scripture came from (errant) tradition?***

Scripture is the product of the Holy Spirit.




*** 3) Is there some way you have of applying scripture without any tradition whatsoever?***

We don't believe in "no tradition". We just dont place it on par with or above Scripture.

Thanks very much for your reply. I realize that suddently it's your time in the dock. And I appreciate very much your willingness to engage. So, on with it:

1) What did scripture rule should be done in Galileo's case?***

"And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?"

Huh? So what is the answer?

Christians weren't called to right every wrong or chase every goose in the world.

The birth of the scientific method; the role of science and reason and spirit? The enlightenment, the age of reason, and the church? A goose?  Huh? again.

Have your forgotten that scripture came from (errant) tradition?***
Scripture is the product of the Holy Spirit.

Yes, and...

Forgive me for my following sarcasm (no, don't forgive me, consider my way of communicating a point.)

Did the scripture you read today appear miraculously in your lap? Do you have a copy writ on stone by the finger of God? On the frontspiece does it say "Selected, translated and © Copyright Holy Spirit?

I respect you, Petronius, but you are dodging, here.

3) Is there some way you have of applying scripture without any tradition whatsoever?***
We don't believe in "no tradition". We just dont place it on par with or above Scripture.

So your 'tradition' doesn't interpret and apply scripture different than another tradition? Your church's tradition doesn't override the interpretation of scripture of those of others?

Another dodge. Same questions.
