Case in point: if you look at the definition which bkaycee quoted, you’ll find that it harmonises with my own (i.e. if it isn’t in the Bible, then it is not to be trusted in matters pertaining to salvation).
That being said: even bkaycee’s definition is nowhere to be found in the Bible... and the same problems remain.
Honestly: I didn’t invent this problem with sola Scriptura... nor do I enjoy any distress it might give you (or anyone else). I’m merely the messenger with a bit of bad news about it.
Of course you didn’t. It’s impetus is from those who want to add to, delete from, or in some other way alter what scripture teaches.
If you are comfortable with the Bob told Mary, who told Stan, who told George, who told my uncle Sam’s cousin Larry who told my uncle Sam scenario then by all means follow that system. I will utilize the example of Jesus and that apostles and rely on “it is written”.
What other God Breathed source do you say defines doctrine and what we need for salvation?
