Development of Doctrine

[jaybo]

The Catholic church in the sixteenth century affirmed that Scripture needed supplementation with various rituals and beliefs not be found in Scripture. End of story!!!

 

[Mungo]

I don't respond to sarcasm. If you can't understand what I wrote, I won't help you.

In other words you believe in Sola Scriptura but have no scripture to support your claims

 

[Mungo]

Check out Wikipedia for the simple definition; I won't do your thinking for you.

You make claims, you provide the proof.

 

[Mungo]

Since you are unable to think on your own, ask your priest to explain this (and everything else in Christendom). Or you could just ban me again (your usual tactic) because the truth is so painful for you.

No. You provide the proof for your claims

 

[Mungo]

Here is an explanation (excerpted from an article by Michael Patton)...

The Reformers believed that Scripture alone was the only infallible source for revelation and, therefore, the Scripture alone was the primary source available for instruction on all matters of faith and practice. They believed that tradition, while valuable, could be misleading and fallible. In short, they rejected the idea that the Church needed a second infallible source of revelation (Tradition) along with an infallible interpreter (Magisterium) that would tell them what to believe. The Scriptures needed to be in the hands of every man so that every man could wrestle with and build a theology that was truly their own. (https://bible.org/article/danger-sola-scriptura)

If you can't understand that or worse, can't deal with it, that is not my problem.

TTP Instructors are Michael Patton, Th.M. and Rhome Dyck, Th.M. The Theology Program is copyrighted and published by Reclaim

Obviously his credentials are far more impressive than being the self-appointed moderator of a Catholic sub-forum.

The Reformers may have believed that "Scripture alone was the only infallible source for revelation" but on what basis did they make that claim?
I see no evidence for it.

Another claim with no evidence.

Your last sentence says it all! You see no evidence for it. I feel very sorry for you. Jesus healed blind people; why not pray that He opens your spiritual eyes?

 

[Cooper]

So you invent your own doctrine based on your personal interpretation of the Bible you agree with and using the false doctrine of Sola Scriptura (at least the Scriptura you agree with).

The Bible stands. Church doctrine is another matter altogether.

Mungo's mind is closed. He believes whatever his priests tell him is the truth, regardless of whether it actually is the truth.

Try reading this article of you have an actual interest in sola scriptura. I doubt that your mind will be opened to the truth, thereby escaping sheepdom, but here it is...

I have better things to do, one of which is reading the Bible.

Very clever -- not. Can't you write original thoughts?

Go, then, and read these:

Tit 3:2 to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people.

1Pe 3:15 but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,

 

[Mungo]

Your last sentence says it all! You see no evidence for it. I feel very sorry for you. Jesus healed blind people; why not pray that He opens your spiritual eyes?

I see no evidence for it because you have presented none.
You make a claim - you prove it.

I read the Bible in context, not verses from different authors, selected specifically to prove a point..

 

[Mungo]

Mungo's mg fir you to provide evidence for your claims.

My mind is open
I'm waiting to you to provide evidence for your claims.
It appears you have none.

 

[Mungo]

Very clever -- not. Can't you write original thoughts?

Still waiting for you to provide evidence for your claims.

 

[jaybo]

You're joking, right? I have no interest in wasting my time trying to prove anything to you. Since your mind is closed, it is an impossible task!

Walpole asked you for information.
So far you have not provided it.

Please post the verse which states the Bible, along with the books which should comprise said Bible, is the sole infallible source of authority for Christian faith and practice.

Otherwise you realize you would be failing and contradicting your own rule, right?
