Not so fast. Show me first where Scripture claims 100% of the revealed Word is contained in Scripture and where Scripture defines which books and works comprise the entorety of Scripture and only then will I agree to restrict the discussion to a "show me in Scripture" precondition.
Oh yes so fast. Do you not believe the Bible to be God’s inspired word? Are you that disingenuous? Or is it that there IS no reference, no scriptural authority that justifies these ludicrous claims?
We get what we know from Scripture. Only the Roman Catholic Church dreams up making things up from whole cloth and calling it Tradition. Sorry — but scripture is the common denominator between us: if you’re telling me that scripture isn’t authoritative, then there are more problems than this debate that need to be cleared up.
