Yes. by his labor of love. . . called a work of his faith His understanding alone.
Yoked with him our daily sufferings is made lighter .It does no open the door to limbo and purgatory the wondering sufferings doctrine with no end in sight Satan is the god of lying wonders God sends a strong delusion to those who believe sufferings is not finished after one takes thier last breath according to 1 Peter 1:11 we receive the reward of faith (empowered by God needed to believe God from the first hearing of the gospel.
Roman Catholicism with Greek Orthodox like the Pharisees with Sadducees served the oral tradition of the fathers as false zeal for knowing our Holy Father in heaven They called their legion as a hierarchy of fathers "law of the fathers'. . mere commandment venerable puffed up men that lord it over the non venerable pew sitters.
They showed the true colors murdering punishing mankind that did not follow after thier high priest (as a Pope) or called a dayman fleshly infalible interpreter in Job
Thier high priest gave them letter of his approval .Following the pagan foundation out of sight out of mind as in who believes in a Holy Father not seen
When Saul was born again from above he became public enemy #1 they insisted on judging Paul by the oral traditions I heard it through the legion of father grape vine . But they could not prove that soal scritura was a heresy and they had the law.
The first century reformation had come (hebrew 9) The 15th century a carbon copy same law of the father commandments of men . .different fathers .
Acts 22:1-5King James Version Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I make now unto you.2 (And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,) I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.
Acts 24:5-6 For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes: Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law.
Acts 24:13-14 Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me.
But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets: (sola scriptura)
.Sola scriptura. . the armor of God . The living abiding word of God. . even today it is restoring his government as when two or three or two or three million gather under the hearing of His faithfulness . . not the government of dying mankind men.
2 Thessalonians 2:15
Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
Divine tradition: every word the apostles heard from the mouth of Christ for three years, only part was written
Matthew 24:35
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Jude 1:3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints!
Apostolic tradition:
Matt 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost!
2 Timothy 3:16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness!
(all scripture not 66 books alone)
“Christ founded a church to teach and sanctify all men unto
Eternal salvation”: Matt 28:28 Lk 1:4 acts 1:8, 2:42, 8:31 Jn 16:13, 20:21-23 Matt 18:17 1 Tim 3:16
1 Jn 1:4
I did not say the Bible is not an authority, I say it’s not the “only authority”!
The Bible is the fruit of the apostolic tradition, the church is not dependent on scripture to know truth cos she was taught by Christ in person for thee years!
The same apostolic church you say is the beast or whore is the apostolic church that wrote and approved the New Testament canon!
The New Testament is the fruit of the apostolic authority in succession from the apostles! Without the apostolic authority and apostolic succession there would be no New Testament!
Are we really just Relying on our own private judgement of scripture?
Instead of Christ the light of the world, and the way, the truth, and the Life!
And Christ and His church are one unity in all truth and grace!
Really we are just believing in our own private fallible judgment!
When Christ established the church to teach and sanctify all men unto eternal salvation! Matt 28:19
Christians must be taught or instructed by the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church! Lk 1:4
Matt 28:19, Lk 10:16, Jn 20:21
Acts 8:31, Colossians 2:7
Our understanding, study, interpretation, judgment, are all adding to scripture!
Our reason is part of fallen human nature and is defective.
Our holy religion is revealed by God!
Truth known by “hearing” the apostles not the “Bible alone”!
1 John 4:6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
The apostles in person:
2 John 1:12
Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
Doctrine of the apostles: acts 2:42
And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
Matt 5:14 the apostles are the light of the world until Christ returns in glory!
The Apostolic church is the pillar of truth!
1 tim 3:15
