Right here...
2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
2Ti 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
Additionally, the scriptures that Paul is referring to are the Old Testament, since the New Testament was not yet canonized, with some books yet to be written. Is the Old Testament the "sole rule of faith"?
The NT was canonized the second Paul spoke it...
If so, which Old Testament is the "sole rule of faith," the Orthodox canon, the Catholic canon, or Luther's canon? Does the Bible tell us which is the correct Bible?
Glad you brought that up because YES, it certainly does...
Luk_24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
There you go...No Catholic apocrypha involved whatsoever...
And here's another...
Luk_11:51 From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.
Everything between Genesis and Zachariah...
"If he will not listen to the Church, treat him as a pagan or tax collector." --Jesus
Did Jesus tell every one who had an issue with another believer to pack up and head to Rome??? Nope...This is a local church issue and had nothing to with the pyramid theology of Rome...
The Roman hierarchy could hardly have been established until after Peter reached Rome. But there is an old saying, where Peter is, there is Rome. No one contends that Peter was “the pope” in exactly the same way that Francis is, because the present form is an historical development. But it is not contrary to the New Testament, which vests the authority of the Church in the Apostles, who are the chief elders of the Church. The pope traces his authority to Peter, the most prominent of the Twelve, and to a lesser degree to Paul. No other place can claim to have exercised apostolic authority throughout the past two thousand years with the same authenticity.Who knows how things might have developed if Jerusalem had not been obliterated as the center of the church, which makes moot any reference to James.
