>>Explain why there are thousands of protestant communities who disagree with each others scripture interpretations along all kinds of heresies that NO early Christian’s believed until the reformation if the Bible trumps every time?<<
That is a separate subject. It does bring up an interesting concept though:
One trial attorney became a Christian after reading the Gospels. He said one of the compelling reasons was due to his trial experience. He said when multiple witnesses were in collusion, their stories matche TOO precicely. However, when there was no collusion, but the witnesses were being honest, there would be interesting minor contradictions, but the stories main thread was not only the same but often they said the same thing in a different way that, on the surface seemed to contradict, but in fact were at the root just too people saying the same thing in very different ways.
He said that as he read the Gospels, with their minor “seeming” disagreements, that is exactly what it reminded him of.
I would be more concerned about a church that agreed on EVERYTHING than one that had minor disagreements on minor points.
You want to rely on extra-biblical writings of mere men, I can’t stop you of course. Heck, I really enjoy the writings of C. S. Lewis and others. They have challenged my understanding and interpretation of God’s word. But I still retain the God given right to disagree with some of their interpretations.
When I stand before God, I will stand Alone, with my Intercessor, Jesus, at His right hand. Mr Lewis, nor any of my pastors will be there.
So run off and start another Church as in the spirit of the reformation. You're kidding yourself if you think that minor differences have not lead to more separation of Christian beliefs.
Do you actually think that Christ -who is truth would approve of all of these opposite beliefs over 2000 years of consistencies on Faith and Morals?
WELL PUT.
