We don’t need anything beyond the Bible.

Which would include everything following said by the author or commentary by any Protestant pastor or author, no?

What is that term -- "perspicuity""perspicuitabilitynessitude?", the one that says that anyone can dope out what it says in the Bible, and that takes a long time to explain? That wouldn't be needed either.

No Churches, no preachers, no pamphlets, and tracts. No posts on FR asserting Sola Scriptura. No "homecomings", no "Revivals, no stewardship campaigns.

Jesus says to Martha, "One thing is needful; Mary has chosen the good portion," but strangely fails to mention that the "one thing" is the Bible.

And, of course, the whole conversation displays the "binary" preoccupation of the crypto-Manicheans. "Only this one thing." "If it's not necessary, it is harmful."

Oh well. If people are offered butter and insist on margarine, we can still love them, and let them know there's butter for their bread should they ever want it.
