You shouldnt' believe me blindly.
Search the Scriptures, for in them you will find eternal life. Compare what I say with Scripture, if I lie from a Scriptural standpoint feel free to reject what I say.
I do not stand on my opinion alone though. I try to back up everything I say with Scripture. There are those who disagree with me, sometimes genuinely and sometimes because they just haven't searched them themselves. But, though I was raised in the faith, I did not take everything I was taught for granted but searched Scripture myself to see if there was a basis for my belief. I am not rigid in my interpretations. If I can see how someone could have a different interpretation, I allow room for it (within the context of Scripture, of course). That's why I say that Scripture STRONGLY IMPLIES that Mary and Joseph had a normal relationship as husband and wife rather than stomp my foot and say my view is the only view. I've been told that I have NO Scriptural support for the belief that Mary and Joseph had any sort of normal husband-wife relationship. Such a view is not honest with the evidence I present and I dont' respect it. I would respect someone saying "that is one possible interpretation, but this is how I see it." I could still disagree, but have respect for the person and their opinion because they looked at the issue seriously and were not just blind parrots of their church's teachings.
I have a great deal, with the Holy Spirit even. And I disagree fundamentally with what your conclusions.
For now, I'm trying to focus in the general sense on pure practicality of how True Christ and True Christianity is to be known among all the competing Sola Scripturists.
How does Sola Scriptura work? It's not working in our case, or in the cases cited above.
How can you say it works? I honestly don't get how.
Many can and do blindly parrot Calvin or Benny Hinn or any of dozens of Church teachings. No difference here, blind parrots come in many colors.
