That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works." -- 2 Timothy 3:16-17"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
What more is there?
In fact, Christ is pretty specific about doctrines and practices not found in Scripture...
"Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men." -- Mark 7:7"But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men." -- Matthew 15:9
Further, Scripture echoes Christ's warning...
"Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines." -- Hebrews 13:9"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils" -- 1 Timothy 4:1
God is very clear. We're not supposed to fall down to the stock of a tree.
There is John 21:25.
But back to Timothy. Profitable is not the same as solely sufficient. Paul is only saying what a great aid scripture is, but in no way is he defining sola scriptura.
Amen
This is the perfect verse for this discussion.
In our service on Sunday morning we use cards in the pew backs for folks to use to make requests for prayer. It is nothing more than a tool.
Imagine, though, that someone began to think that the card itself was sanctified. Imagine cards with gold edging, and people with decks of cards, and little pouches on belts for holding the cards, and rules about how to lay the cards out.....
And then they begin to teach the cards, and the doctrine of cards...
You are da bomb, Doc!
But we have Abraham /sarc
