wait! are you saying the bible does't teach sola scriptura?

@sondreboi

no, it doesnt. the bible never says that scripture alone is the only rule of faith and practice. Nor does it say that the word of God is limited only to what is written

@JesusisComingKJV1611 "Wherever Jesus is there is the Catholic Church" St Ignatious 107 A.D. over 200 years b4 Constantine took his fist breath.

The difference is we may consault the Chruch Fathers, but only in accordance with what is actually said in the scripture. What we will not accept however is that the words of any man can be respected equally to or above the bible...

@troysz That is exactly my thrust. It is a dilemma.

[troysz]

@LovingScrubbies As you see now none of can practice all the ways the 1st century church received Gods word because we cannot received in person teaching from the apostles.

However we all can yet receive their written words just like the 1st century church did.

You do not live in a time before the Bible was written when apostles taught in person the sooner you realize that the better.

@LovingScrubbies "BEFORE there was a christian bible."

1. Are you able to hear the authoritative in person words of the apostles as the 1st century church was?

If yes tell me when and where?

If no, then you must admit that you cannot receive Jesus words in at least one of the ways that those living in his days on the earth did.

Nor can you receive the words of the apostles in at least one of ways that the 1st century church did.

@LovingScrubbies "I think"sola scriptura"is empty rhetoric esp since there was a christian church BEFORE there was a christian bible."

Which is specifically mentioned by the apostles as authoritative1) their spoken and written words or 2) their written words and Catholic traditions?

Before the Bible was written what traditions did Jesus or the apostles teach us to keep that are not now recorded in the Bible?

Also when was the last time you received in person words from Jesus or the apostles?

[troysz]

@LovingScrubbies For instance if a church decides to send the teens to Cedar Point once a year that is not the type of tradition that either Jesus or the apostles warned of.

However if a church said that only churches called "The Son's of God" are true churches (since the term is used in scripture), they are teaching something that neither Jesus nor the apostles taught.

They might of course say that the name is implied in scripture but they would be in error because names are stated >>>>>>>>
