Featured Were There Non-Catholic Churches Before Protestants?

Yes it presents "don't add FAKE RULES that are not written out in scripture".

Show us the verse for this FAKE RULE that says Scripture is the ONLY AUTHORITY.



I invite you folks to look up the word PROFITABLE in a dictionary.......IT would be PROFITABLE if you understood its meaning.

It is also PROFITABLE to have good reading glasses when you read things.


It is profitable to have a nuclear generator to power one's house. But its not required.

 

No it doesn't. it means exactly what it says don't add or take away from that book.

Find yourself someone who has a major in English. And have them explain the sentence to you.

The word AUTHORITY is not in there, The word ONLY is not in there.


"Scripture is the ONLY AUTHORITY" Is unbiblical. The bible does not teach this.

Hint: you can't even find a verse for what you would claim is the most important rule.

 

no, it says add or take away anything.

ὠφέλιμος ōphélimos, o-fel'-ee-mos; from a form of G3786; helpful or serviceable, i.e. advantageous:—profit(-able).

The verse says all scripture is inspired, so we can understand it comes from God and God does not lie.

Num 23:19
God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

so what is your grievance?

 

verses shown, read them

 

Heb 1:1¶
God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Heb 1:2
Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds

and

1Co 14:37

If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.

Jesus words

Jhn 12:46
I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
Jhn 12:47
And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
Jhn 12:48
He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
Jhn 12:49
For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
Jhn 12:50
And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak

 

Scripture is absolutely true, God does not lie.


My grievance is YOU HAVE ADDED A FALSE DOCTRINE. You have added SOMETHING.

FALSE DOCTRINE------>>>>>Scripture is the ONLY AUTHORITY <<<<<-----FALSE DOCTRINE


Show me the bible verse or teaching that plainly states SCRIPTURE is the ONLY AUTHORITY.




Its like if I asked you to show me your BLUE CAR.

You answer back, Look it has wheels, it has an engine, it has steering wheel.

But you never get around to showing the color.

Please show me the color, Whats the reply i often get?

Do you hate cars? do you have a problem with engines? what do you have against wheels?

SHOW ME THE COLOR OF THE CAR!

The color is right here, all cars have profitable turn signals and look at these fancy seats.



Likewise you never get around to show me the verse that says the BIBLE is the ONLY AUTHORITY.

You show me that the bible is true, written by God, its honest, we should not add fake rules to it, its word of God, it looks pretty.

But you never get around to showing the color.

Give me that FAKE RULE everyone claims is there. Show me the verse where it says the bible is the only authority?

 

Rev 1:3

Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

do not accept changes

Gal 1:6

¶
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
Gal 1:7

Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
Gal 1:8

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.
Gal 1:9

As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

We have the authority (power) of scripture.

 

What is added?

 

"Can you use scripture to rebuke that spirit claiming to be God and that God has ordered Israelites to kill sinners like someone caught in adultery?

Sure you can. "


Indeed I am using scripture to rebuke your false doctrine. >>>>"scripture is the sole authority "

Show me the scripture that claims "scripture is the sole authority"

 

I never said you can't correct anyone with scripture. You are going around the issue.

This is not biblical----->"SCRIPTURE IS THE ONLY AUTHORITY"


SOMETHING BEING true DOES NOT EQUAL= Only authority
You can correct folks DOES NOT EQUAL= ONLY AUTHORITY.

 

The church as an organization is of man

 

God does not lie, God gave us All scripture. God is the authority, shown to us by scripture.

 

The Church is an organization started by Jesus Christ. There had to be some form of authority for the newly emerging Christian faith, thus the Church. It started with the Apostles and then continued on after they all died.

The reality is Jesus did not say for his Apostles to just write a book and let the future Christians figure it all out for themselves. Nope, Jesus never said such a thing.

 

The Scriptures are authoritative, authority resides within the Church and it's leaders, the Bishops.

 

No, what you call "errant doctrines" is just you making that determination through your own fallible interpretation. Why should anyone believe you?

 

No. Scripture can and often does report authority and priority. GOD is #1 Authority. His commands are the priorities.


But you folks are adding in an extra doctrine, a claim that is never made by scripture. What is this claim?

"Scripture is the ONLY authority"


If you had a bible verse for this, you'd already would have cited it.

So your kinda stuck in a broken loop. Telling me scripture is TRUE, God wrote it, Its pretty, we shouldn't add things to it.

But you don't realize you are ADDING something to it.

You are saying the bible is only allowed to dictate itself as the authority, And yet it never does, it points to God and it points to the church.

And if you don't believe me.

SIMPLY tell me the bible verse where it PLAINLY SAYS. Scripture is the only authority.
