You tell me since I'm not the one who believes Jesus Christ "mis spoke" when He promised that the Holy Spirit would lead the Apostles to all Truth.

But, at least we agree that Scripture Alone contradicts Scripture and Faith Alone contradicts Scripture.

I think it is worse to falsely accuse someone of calling Jesus a liar when that person has done no such thing. Jesus did not misspeak and the Holy Spirit DOES lead us into all truth. That includes knowing that the seven extra books Catholics tacked onto the Bible and officially declared "inspired" is NOT proof that those books ARE from God.

But, at least we agree that Scripture Alone contradicts Scripture and Faith Alone contradicts Scripture.

Except that we don't and it doesn't!

The Ethiopian eunuch had some 'scripture' that he was reading.

What EXTRA 'tradition' did Philip educate him with?


Acts 8:26-40 (ESV)

Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch

26 Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Rise and go toward the south to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is a desert place. 27 And he rose and went. And there was an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure. He had come to Jerusalem to worship 28 and was returning, seated in his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah. 29 And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and join this chariot.” 30 So Philip ran to him and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?” 31 And he said, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. 32 Now the passage of the Scripture that he was reading was this:

“Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter
    and like a lamb before its shearer is silent,
    so he opens not his mouth.
33 In his humiliation justice was denied him.
    Who can describe his generation?
For his life is taken away from the earth.”

34 And the eunuch said to Philip, “About whom, I ask you, does the prophet say this, about himself or about someone else?” 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning with this Scripture he told him the good news about Jesus. 36 And as they were going along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “See, here is water! What prevents me from being baptized?” 38 And he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him. 39 And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, and went on his way rejoicing. 40 But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through he preached the gospel to all the towns until he came to Caesarea.
