Pharisees and Sadducee's
Sorry, but the "Sadducee's" were on your side in this argument, since they rejected the Oral Torah.
And I reject sola scriptura. The Written Torah is nothing but a string of consonants that only the Oral Torah can decipher (all chr*stian translations are based on this Oral tradition, btw, so there goes that argument).
My only dog in this fight is the Catholic/Orthodox relinquishing of Biblical inerrancy and their slavish caving in to evolution and modernism.
That part.
My dog[not in any fight] is that all of these, and more of them, reject the wholeness of the Word as spoke by God when on earth, as a man....much like progressives, whom we loathe, reject the same with the Constitution. A parallel.
And while Catholics bob, weave, bend, fabricate and parry to protect the sanctity of their later tradition, ceremony, and 'revelation'.....it is not unlike any of the above. They all reject 'sola scriptura'.
Just an observation while reading. Felt like posting it.
