To: The Theophilus
Many early Christians were also Premillennialists, and Augustine was once one, before he switched to what Rome now holds which is largely an Amillennial view. So if we look outside of Scripture, then which best represents the eschatology of Christ? Premil or Amil? (Sorry Preterists, you weren't well represented back then)

We stick with Sola Scriptura because God doesn't change, and neither does His revelation. The inspired texts locked in time serve that purpose well.

Truly, Catholics adjust Scripture to fit their beliefs. Protestants adjust their beliefs to fit Scripture.

"adjust their beliefs to fit Scripture"

Ah, like the group that believes this Da ya go displaying your ignorance over the biblical use of the word “wine.” Justify your drunkeness via Jesus and the wedding! No, Jesus never drank strong drink and He didn’t create 150 gallons of rotten juice to throw a drunken party. Jesus Christ never created anything tainted, and fermented juice is tainted. What He created was good and pure — not purtrid and corrupt! It’s down right blasphemous to suggest such a thing.

or the guy who wrote about Lucifer AND Jesus are ONE in the NIV

Or the JWs?
