Has anyone else noticed that every person including the author of the OP has quoted scripture alone to support their positions? But hey, can't find any proof in Scripture Alone!!

So you are saying you do not know if it does? .

So you are saying you do not know if it does? My faith is a know so faith, not a hope so faith. It is the Holy Spirit who tells me what writings are from God. "But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing...

But you are a Catholic and you have rigorously debated with me in several threads that NO faith in Jesus Christ is necessary, a Good Samaritan deed would suffice, they can reject Jesus Christ and their good deed would still save them.

I believe you are mixing issues together. We are talking about Final Authority, not salvation. Are you saying you only judge the Scripture is the Final Authority by faith only, nothing pointing to this is found within that Scripture?

I'm not so sure I am following your faith premise. You do not think choosing the Word of God as your Final Authority is based on Scripture?

Two questions for you; 1) Can a person be taught by God and saved through reading the Scripture alone? 2) Can a person be taught by God how to love God and love their neighbor through reading the Scripture alone? If the only answer is yes, then Scripture ALONE does work and the RCC is...

You haven't proven your church is the Final Authority. You point to the Final Authority to prove your church is the Final Authority. How ironic.

This from a man who says one can reject Jesus Christ and be justified by their works. Talk about butchering John chapter three.

Actually, no. No one told me who was writing on behalf of God. The Holy Spirit led me to believe the 66 books of the bible were Scripture. After reading each one and having the Holy Spirit guide me I concluded they were legit, not because any pastor or church said so. When I read other gospels...

So your Final Authority on the Church having the Final Authority is the Scripture. Correct?

I do like how you use Scripture to make your points, even flawed points, it shows the practice of Sola Scripture, which you say is phony. Two questions for you; 1) Can a person be taught by God and saved through reading the Scripture alone? 2) Can a person be taught by God how to love God and...

What you're really advocating is that the Bible is not 100% reliable for Christian doctrine. That we need flawed men to tell us what parts are true and what parts are to be ignored. What you need to do is give us an example of where the Church is in disagreement with the Scripture and corrects it.

Was it given the Authority to teach things against the Authority of God's Word? Your version of the Church having Final Authority is found horribly flawed within the Scripture itself. Let's look at some of these things you say the Church was given the Authority to bind. "Unto the angel of the...

Exactly why God gave us His Word through His Apostles and we will be judged according to what has been written, not according to what any Bishop added or any Pastor added. The more severe rebuke will go to those who were in a position of a shepherd and misrepresented what the Apostles had said...

It is Written.... "My little children......I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.......ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things....I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that...

"This use of the term anathema has a very precise meaning: Let him be cut off from the Church, not let him be damned to hell. And this is done by the Church in her wisdom as a way of trying to bring the one in error to his senses - before it's too late and he is damned to hell by virtue of his...

How could they ever do that? They believe their declarations are from God and cannot be wrong. The Scripture speaks of these kind, they are just like the Pharisees of Judaism, placing themselves as the Final Authority stripping it from God. "But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent...

This is just a statement. Give your reference supporting your answer. Nice work! It's not correct, however, I like how you used Scripture to interpret Scripture. I thought maybe you would give an RCC explanation for this "way of righteousness", maybe they never gave one, idk, your the...

Let me give you my testimony of my salvation. My parents took me to a small Methodist church sporadically as a child. What I took away from those times were Jesus loves me and do unto others as you would have done unto you. Good things for sure, but never heard anything about having to be saved...
