"I do not discount or throw out any part of the Word."

No need to discount what you've already thrown in the garbage.

Someone believes Luther perfectly discerns the Word while the Holy Spirit cannot protect the Word from error and that means, "I don't discount any part of the Word". Gotcha.

I understand, folks have to pretend they don't believe Luther is superior to the Holy Spirit while at the same time they insist the Holy Spirit cannot and did not protect the Word of God from the inclusion of error. That explains why Christ never mentioned that there were books in the Septuagint that shouldn't be there; He didn't want to embarrass the Holy Spirit. Right?

The doctrine of "Scripture Alone (after we throw some out)" is really just Sola Yourselfa with Self superior to Scripture.

Like everything else Luther taught one "solution" to his little problem of contradicting Scripture led to an even bigger problem, in this case, the implicit belief that the Holy Spirit is imperfect. So, Luther and those who follow Protestantism all elevate their Self to the role of the Holy Spirit leading to the Trinity they really believe in, The Father, The Son, and The Holy Self with the Holy Self creating whatever sort of Father and Son the Holy Self prefers with little regard for what Christ taught.

Self and Self Alone is the endpoint of all Protestantism and the US where Protestantism has always been the overwhelming majority increasingly reflects that endpoint. Consequently, while the nation slides down the toilet the latest trendy new flavors of Protestantism preach hiding under a carefully prepared and stocked bushel basket to await being evacuated when Christ surrenders the Earth to Satan.

Been good watching you dance.

Yeah, I've been reading the edicts of the First Vatican Council. In it they say you can't rely on Scripture alone....interesting.

Indeed even the Holy Bible itself, which they at one time claimed to be the sole source and judge of the Christian faith, is no longer held to be divine, but they begin to assimilate it to the inventions of myth.

I would think the catholic church has been the one assimilating a lot of inventions of myth.....

And then we have Paul saying, "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.".....nothing in there about needing all that tradition as espoused in the FVC.

Tell you what...I'll stick with Christ and the Bible and you can feel free to add whatever you want to support your non-Biblical traditions.

Enjoyed the dance.
