[Cronos]

There NOT my personal interpretations ,quix ,Yours are. I am following the interpretations handed down through Apostolic succession through the ages and can back it up with Church Fathers writings who were involved in Bible canon,you can’t do the same.

That is well put and a grace from God that the sola types have denied themselves. God gave us this community of believers stretching back 2000 years. He wants us to learn as a community (as an oral society would) and to learn from and WITH each other. Sola interpretura fails because an individual will always color facts with his/her own opinion (see post 281 for where wmfights makes that error and wmfights is in good company -- St Augustine, Origen, Tertullian, all wise men, made errors too), but a community especially one blessed by the FAther, protected by the Son and graced by the Holy SPirit for 2000 years does not err.

our laity or clergy may err as individuals, but Christ does not err and He has blessed and protected His Church for 2000 years while the man-made heresies from Marcionism to Manicheanism and now first-generation Protestantism are dying or dead. They were of man and do not last, but play out up to 500 years (as in another article). The modern heresies from the Pentecostals (formed in the early 1900s) to the Seventh Day Adventists (1844) to the Mormons (1850s) will have their day in the sun, but they will wither and die as they have no root in the Spirit but are man-made

Good points-They have no concrete teaching to hold them together

Here is an example of this from the Southern Baptists Convention

(3) That any group of Baptists, large or small, have the inherent right to draw up for themselves and publish to the world a confession of their faith whenever they may think it advisable to do so.

Another words...make up your own faith
