Ha ha ha!! Here, you've been given references to actual Scripture scholarship but you won't even acknowledge it. You admit you didn't read it because "Scripture is the only authority." Yet, the author is using Scripture to explain for you... and you don't read it because you only read Scripture. On what basis should anyone explain anything at all to you? You've made up your own mind and will accept no other input.
No. It was recommended I read a book.
Yet, the author is using Scripture to explain for you...
I know the Scriptures. They do not teach what Ol' Arch-Pope claims. Many people use the Scriptures to explain heresy.
On what basis should anyone explain anything at all to you?
Use the Scriptures.
