Now you're editing out the caps like you didn't post them twice already...
Methinks we are in different galactic clusters . . . at least on different planets.
I eagerly await God's ruling on such an assessment.
Cute.
Thx.
I wouldn't agree because that isn't how Sola Scriptura is defined. Take the Reformers. They wrote books. They preached. They taught. And they formulated the phrase.
Sola Scriptura doesn't negate teaching.
Now, if someone walked up to me and I had no way of having further contact with them, I might hand them a Bible and say read this. I might say start with John or Romans. Because faith comes by hearing and hearing through the Word of God. The Holy Spirit illumines our minds and hearts to His Word. The Word itself is sufficient. Teaching is helpful.
Are we talking about different threads? Different posts?
Different planets?
Different languages?
Mystifying.
Thanks.
It's great to have a good reality check.
One could easily begin to wonder if someone had switched THE MATRIX on or slipped me down Alice's rabbit hole.
Mystifying.
So teaching and direction is done, is necessary is a requirement. "Sola Scriptura" is a misnomer, not practiced in it's literal sense.
Would you agree?
= = = =
No. I forcefully disagree.
And I gave TWO DIFFERENT SPHERES OF NOT JUST EXAMPLES BUT HOLY SPIRIT AFFIRMED PROOFS above.
None of which has been responded to in anything close to a congruent civil dialogue sort of way.
Post 6056 has 22 capitalized words. You omit them from your ping to your fellow scripture 'interpretors'.
I've been entirely underwhelmed . . .
exceedingly incredulous . . .
absolutely aghast . . .
totally flummoxed . . .
mouth agape . . .
at the bald faced assertions about me and what I know, what I have done, what I do hereon
which are absolutely totally wrong, in error and seemingly close, if not over the line into deliberate falsehoods.
Amazing.
BTW, I include CAPS when I feel like it.
If my precious sister Alamo-Girl hasn't been able to moderate my use of capitals much . . . I assure you, few to no others hereon can.
You have yet to answer my question why is God under obligation to die for us?
You could be an expert at melodramtic asserting of falsehoods.
Hello????
Those parts had nothing to do with my point in the latter post!
Perhaps I need to get a translator. My wife used to translate for me sometimes. As have others who understood me well.
The miscommunication is absolutely mind bogglingly mystifying.
And I'm not that bad a psychologist.
Oh, I suppose I could think of some plausible reasons for it . . . but that would take work . . . at least the work of thinking some thoughts along those lines.
I'll give that one an 8.5 on slickness of form.
All that but the Church Creed. Everybody, it seems had to make their own.
Use them if you like, th point is capitalized words are considered bad nettiqutte. you can choose to communicate normally or litter your rants with lots of apparent yelling at your whim that hardly makes it acceptable tone for reasonable discourse.
It came from Scripture.
yelling at your whim that hardly makes it acceptable tone for reasonable discourse.

OH DEAR!
GUFFAWS TO THE MAX YET AGAIN!
LOL
ROTFLOL
OH, DEAR. Holding my sides.
I didn't expect this to turn into a humor thread.
I empathize that you needed your wife to translate for you, and with your assertion that your communication is mind boggling.
The Word itself is sufficient. Teaching is helpful.
First, I'm assuming you are conflating "Word" with Bible. Second, I don't think any Protestant acts like they really believe this. Is there any that doesn't stress 'right' teaching? 'right' dividing?
Sounds good, but pure literal Sola Scriptura? I don't think you really believe that, not if you think about closely.
