I believe the idea of sola scripture is probably misunderstood, i for one simply believe if tradition is at odds with scripture then it is wrong.

While it is true that there is a living word it is a personal thing, just between God and you.

If a man or woman goes around telling people what God has revealed to them they may be a liar and probably are.

So anything which contradicts the written word should be avoided.

While everything which is not written down may not be wrong, it is not essential.

Both Martin Luther and Jorge Bergoglio have done that.

Sola Scriptura sounds really funny when one considers that the first Bible printed by the Gutenberg Press was a CATHOLIC VULGATE BIBLE!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gutenberg_Bible

The Gutenberg Bible (also known as the 42-line Bible, the Mazarin Bible or the B42) was the first major book printed in the West using movable type. It marked the start of the “Gutenberg Revolution” and the age of the printed book in the West. Widely praised for its high aesthetic and artistic qualities,[1] the book has an iconic status. Written in Latin, the Gutenberg Bible is an edition of the Vulgate, printed by Johannes Gutenberg, in Mainz, in present-day Germany, in the 1450s.

Yeah.

By Rome and it's followers!


Please tell us; Catholics; just what is missing from scripture that is NEEDED to get a person saved and headed towards heaven?


Take your time; I'll be monitoring this thread from afar.
