"Sorry, I oversimplified. Sola scriptura means that you only need the scriptures and your interpretation"

The standard Papist strawman again!

Read in their completeness, the scriptures interpret, and canonize themselves. No one is entitled to their own interpretation.

Personal interpretation is exemplified in the Papist twisting of Rev. 12 to turn "the woman" into Mary to justify their Marian idolatry. That 'interpretation' is at odds with the entirety of scripture, including the rest of the book of Revelation. Let scripture interpret scripture!

To castigate those that say that the Trinity is not found in the scriptures in the form that is traditional in Euro-centric churches is a huge and unnecessary reach, in as much as that interpretation is not necessary for understanding the plan of salvation. (my personal beliefs tend toward the traditional)

Read in their completeness, the scriptures interpret, and canonize themselves. No one is entitled to their own interpretation. -- what part of "Sorry" did you not understand? And what part of the post to Dr E when I apologized for the statment in 941 did you not understand? Instead you go off on you own trip and come up with your own accusation of No one is entitled to their own interpretation. --> did I say that? No, I didn't

Personal interpretation is exemplified in .... Rev 12 --> that is not "personal" -- that is the interpretation of the Oriental, Assyrian, Orthodox and Catholic Apostolic Church not any one individuals.

Again -- where did I "castigate" anyone who does not believe in the Trinity? I merely asked them to clarify what they believe and why. You accuse me of something I didn't do -- why?
