Me thinks thou protest too much. How many of these do we need to post a week? The Bible itself supports Sola Scriptura despite the desperate pleas from Catholics otherwise. The same old arguments relived over and over like some Groundhog Day movie.

Would you like to be on the Advent series ping list?

I have engaged in these debates for countless hours, and I suppose I will continue to do so.

The “church” does authenticate and verify the true scriptures because the church does here Christ’s voice and is indwelt by the Holy Spirit.

The Word of God commends itself to me. It resonates with me when I read it. I recognize it to be from God because His Spirit within me testifies that it is His word.

I am a part of the church as is every blood-bought believer in Christ who has been granted this ability to discern His voice by His indwelling Spirit.

Those of us who have believed do not need man’s testimony. We do not need clergy to tell us it is His word because the Spirit Himself tells us.

We do recognize the authority of the apostles and their commandments and their traditions which HAVE BEEN RECORDED IN SCRIPTURE.

2 Peter 1:12-15
For this reason I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, though you know and are established in the present truth. Yes, I think it is right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you, knowing that shortly I must put off my tent, just as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me. Moreover I will be careful to ensure that you always have a reminder of these things after my decease.

It’s Advent. It is a series. It’s not about protesting it’s about waiting. It is not required reading. :)
