I wasn't trying to "proof text" anything. I was sharing with a very long time Freeper friend, Salvation, the way I would respond to the request for an explantion of sola scriptura.
Also, it wasn't "proof texting" because it built the basis for the doctrine of sola scriptura on a solid, rational foundation presented from the bible.
Finally, it wasn't "proof texting" because my friend's request was that we USE the bible to demonstrate sola scriptura.
It is not "proof texting" to provide a biblical explanation of the doctrine of the trinity. "Proof texting" is generally understood to be citing a single verse that when taken out of context (or placed in no context at all) supports a narrow biblical argument. For example, proof texting the unbiblical teaching of of "name it and claim it" a person might say, "the bible says 'ask and you shall receive..."
No, that was addressed to salvation. Sorry.
Thanks, I didn’t know what “proof testing” even was.
