Ping!
Or, option 3, continue to call to those who have swum the Tiber, "Leave the whore of Babylon and come into the light of Jesus, alone." I think I'll go with #3.
Perhaps the Protestants need their own Reformation? However, I agree with 2ndDivisionVet that the conservative denominations, that remain oriented on scripture, have stood fast against the socialist secular humanism that began infecting Protestant seminaries in the 1960s and has grown since then. Also the hierarchical Protestant denominations, less those few like LCMS and Baptists, have encouraged the social humanist agenda of the seminaries they control. FYI, I am a member of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)
Without having read the thread I will say this:
Say what we will as Catholics about sola scriptura (and there are many errors with that ecclesiastical approach, if it can even be called an “ecclesiastical” approach) but as long as such adherants don’t go as far as this editorial claims is possible (which it is possible) then there won’t be among such people any slide into accepting “gay marriage” or abortion.
That is to say, so long as such Christians only say, “Jesus didn’t say X was RIGHT...” And don’t go so far as to say “Jesus didn’t say X was WRONG...” there is no way someone who believes in sola scriptura can say...
Gay “marriage” is ok. Or...
Abortion is ok. Or ...
Transgender operations are ok. Or...
Any host of social ills facing us today. It’s just not possible for those who subscribe to sola scriptura and only say “Jesus said/didn’t say X was RIGHT”.
Of course such a philosophy limits one to a faith limited to only what’s expressly in the Bible. Which IMO is a limited faith. But it will never be in danger of sliding into such errors as above. How can it be? It’s following only what’s written.
This is to only speak critically of the editorial in the OP. It’s not an endorsement of sola scriptura.
