I posted: "“not to go beyond the things which are written.”

You in all your Biblical knowledge and wisdom asked: “According to who, the wiki? That is really reaching (and reinforces the tragedy of not having your own teaching authority).”

Now here is the source of the quote I posted: I Corinthians 4:6, Paul says, “Now these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes; that in us you might learn not to go beyond the things which are written; that no one of you be puffed up for the one against the other.”

Let me explain further for you. 1 Corinthians 4:6 is in scripture. That obviously comes as a surprise to you.

Your snarky comment that it “reinforces the tragedy of not having your own teaching authority” is evidence of your lack of knowledge of scripture. Can we all agree now that you are not a person to be debated on anything having to do with scripture with any sort of seriousness?

"Your snarky comment that it “reinforces the tragedy of not having your own teaching authority” is evidence of your lack of knowledge of scripture."

I'm not going to bother to ping your posse on my response, but you are all a bunch of hypocrites. You all blather on about "Only Scripture" but Protestantism doesn't walk the walk.

If Scripture was all that was needed there would be nothing more than Scripture associated with Protestant education and worship, but it isn't. Protestants have their own authors, their sermons, their catechisms, their websites, and their FReeper caucuses and then rage on about the Catholic Magisterium and Liturgy. The only "Sola" you guys really believe in is Only without the Catholic Church.

Your words "Let me explain further for you" in reference to interpretation of scripture is the Achilles heel of a prideful position. This represents an individual interpretation which along with the discrete opinions of the countless other evangelicals fundamentalists represent an affront to Our Savior as it mimics the "Non Serviam" of Lucifer.

How does the Holy Spirit grade all these individual interpretations? Does He render a numerical or alpha grade every day to each one of you who has made interpretations for that day?.If so, do you bandy your grades about on some arcane or UFO blog to parade your spiritual progress. If I might be so bold to say the "bible quoten bible toten" self proclaimed geniuses on this board would be in need of remedial training or perhaps summer school

What besides ones own sinful pride allows your type to desecrate the Bride of Christ? Did you get an indwelling of the Spirit and if so share with us as to facilitate a proper evaluation.

Oh that's right it is all about you not Jesus. I understand now and finally understand who is operating the aforementioned UFO blog. It's Semple's buddy.
