[Gamecock]

Translation: Don't trust man, trust tradition. The Pope will tell you what to believe.

I'm glad most colonists were Proddies, otherwise we'd still be sitting around hearing how great the tradition of having an earthly king is..

[D-fendr]

That was a poor translation.

[D-fendr]

Perhaps a better one could start this way:

How would you describe/define "sacred writings" in the verse you posted?

[D-fendr]

Secondly, from the same verses:

What was Paul referring to by "All Scripture"?

What does "profitable" mean in this verse?

[D-fendr]

And, lastly: Is the following profitable for teaching, reproof, correction, or training in righteousness:

"We hold that man is never so near grace as when he begins to feel he can do nothing at all. When he says, 'I can pray, I can believe, I can do this, and I can do the other,' marks of self-sufficiency and arrogance are on his brow."

Same question for the "Institutes of the Christian Religion".
