Sola Scriptura = Moral and Theological Relativism

The Paleocrat Tribune
http://thepaleocrat.com

A response to Preachdaword. Deals primarily with the Protestant doctrine of the Perspicuity of Scripture as well as Ecclesiastical authority in regards to various doctrinal disputes. I have contended that the Protestant scheme inevitably results in ecclesiastical, doctrinal, and moral relativism.

Do you have reverence the Koran in the sense of having admiration, paleocrat?

[paleocrat]

As a piece of literature, possibly. Not enough to kiss it or consider it Divine Revelation. It is intriguing though, particularly the "sword texts."

[LaneCh]

"Not enough to kiss it..."

How do you reconcile your lack of admiration to it in that respect with the following link and still hold that Rome is as unified as you imply in this video?

Heavens no, I would never, under any circumstance whatsoever, kiss the Koran. The pope was wrong to do that. He was wrong to hold the prayer summit in Assisi. Pope Benedict was wrong to enter a synagogue or celebrate anti-Christ Jewish holidays. Ecumenism has become a cancer within the Body of Christ, and pluralism and modernism is the way of the day for many Catholics, even popes.

But a pope's actions are by no means considered infallible. I would dare call it sin.

@paleocrat I watched your video, I was impressed by your passion. BUT BUT. If yo don't seem aware that the alternative to that protestant confusion, is catholic oppression, the only way we cann follow one church at anycost, is as it happened in the dark ages. AT IS HAPPENED IN THE DARK AGES. so you have to choses protestant confution or one dictator leader who burnes people the stake. for example have you read the life of john hus.

[PaulBennett36]

It is because the Protestant denominations do not have a church legal system moral authority etc to help them interpret scripture.

[atomagenesis]

Sola Scriptura is the biggest joke to ever come on the scene doctrinally in the last 500 years. I don't see how anyone with reasonable intelligence and logic can possibly take the position of Sola Scriptura and personal interpretation of scripture.

@Master83236 I agree, as do many in the Catholic Church, that what happened with Cardinal Humbert and the Eastern Church should never had happened. I hope that one day the churches will come to an agreement and unite, but the Catholic position has never been that the Bishop of Rome has a "Supremacy" over the others, but a "Primacy", or as you stated, "first among equals". This means he has the last say, as a President, not a dictator, and that's how it is to this day.

[Master83236]

@hockeyrulesus "Primus Inter Pares" or "First among equals" is the title and position an Orthodox Pope holds, NOT supremacy. The Pope was never the arbiter of the ecumenical councils, which I might add, all occurred in the East. The Orthodox were excommunicated for not accepting an illicit addition to the creed and Cardinal Humbert had no authority to do so, because the Pope never had a position of supremacy in the church. Also, Christ is the leader of the Church and needs no vicar.

@MrJamesthecatholic Ill just tell what isn't true. Peter is NOT the first Pope and The Church of Rome is NOT THE Church.

Peter was ministering to the Jews (Gal 2:7-8), and Paul told the church in Rome (real one), that he is the minister of the gospel among the gentiles (Rom 15:6).

There were numerous churches planted by ALL the apostles before the Roman Empire, who were then persecuting the early church, before the empire adopted "Christianity" as its official religion.

"The Roman Catholic Church is a sub group of Christianity. "

Interesting... So lets look at this further. When did this happen ? I need a date. Who was the first Pope (name please) ? What were the other 'Christians' who did not "sub-group" into Catholics called ? Who was their leader ? What are they called today ? Don't tell me they don't exist today - cause if you say that you accuse Jesus, who said the gates of hell will never prevail against His Church of being a liar.

[semajgnik]

@MrJamesthecatholic The Roman Catholic Church is a sub group of Christianity. Constantine made "Christianity" the official, universal, "catholic", religion of the Roman Empire for the sole purpose of unfying the empire, and in order for him to do this, he had to incorporate A LOT of the paganism that the would be converts held to. The Roman Bishops became the supreme ruler of the Church, which later developed in to the Papacy after the fall of the Empire... The Church of Rome.
