“there is a good reason for it.”
LOL. I’m given a “sola scriptura”: “There’s nothing in Scripture about X”
and you come back with, “no, but there’s a good reason for X.”
Everyone who practices and advocates things that “aren’t in Scrpture” says he has good reason for it.
That is totally irrelevant here. You just gave away the Sola Scriptura store.
I don’t believe in Sola Scriptura. I assume that there’s a heckuva lot of stuff that’s not in Scripture. I don’t think that God ever intended that everything would be in Scripture. Indeed, John’s Gospel ends by saying that not everything can be “in Scripture” because the books would fill the whole world.
So I don’t have any problem with defending this or that practice as being derived by Holy-Spirit guided teaching office “out of Scripture.”
You and your Protestant buds are the ones who use “it’s not in Scripture” when convenient for attacking this or that Catholic belief you reject
and now you turn around and defend thimbles of grape juice as being done “for a good reason.”
Can you not see that you just knocked your whole “it’s not in Scripture” mantra into a cocked hat?
Don’t answer that. I know you can’t see how ludicrous your reasoning is.
“Everyone who practices and advocates things that “aren’t in Scrpture” says he has good reason for it.”
You are so right, give booze to recovering alkies, what harm could come of that? I answered your questions specifically and without malice and you hit me with a bunch of sola scriptura stuff? Are you always this much of a dick or is this just how the love of Christ chooses to shine through you?
