Which is it ladies?

“Scripture alone” or “Faith alone”?

You can’t have both and still call each of them “alone”.

C’mon, ET. Where has anyone ever said we are saved by “Scripture alone”? Is it past your bedtime?

___________________________

The Scriptures are a road map to Calvary. I believe this road map to be accurate and complete. I trust in the Scriptures to be Truth. I place my faith in the One True Messiah that shed His Blood for the remission of sins. I believe the prophecies contained in this Book. Both past and future.

I place my faith in Jesus Christ and none other.

It’s a travesty whenever a false doctrine corrupts the road map and places detour signs in front of Calvery.

Galatians 1:6-8

6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

Matthew 7:14

14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

I’m inclined to fold my map and walk away, knowing some here have chosen that detour.

Matthew 15:14

14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

You ask about faith in Scriptures and Grace?

If I had little faith in the Scriptures, I too would be inclined to take a detour and fall from Grace. If I were lost I could even end up in Rome.
