Final and Only Authority

[FollowTheWay]

No, we also believe in the Priesthood of the Believer, but also in the ministerial priesthood to which some are called to lead the faithful. God has indeed placed people in positions of ecclesiastical authority over us, as many other Christian faith traditions also have their ordained ministers (priests), Bishops even. So we Catholics are not the only ones.

I don't think you understand the Baptist concept of Priesthood of the Believer. It means that all Christians can go directly to God with their prayers and problems. There is no need and no provision made for anyone to intercede on their behalf. No priest to confess to and no Pope to interpret scripture for them. There is no Virgin Mary or saints to pray to as well. i don't think you could say this is in line with Catholic orthodoxy.

Which has given us thousands of Christian sects, with even members of the same faith tradition (like Baptists) splitting off from one another. Are we here to determine our own "truth" as regards religious matters, or is there one truth all should adhere to?

There is one truth but perhaps none of the Christian denominations have got it entirely correct. Each one of us will have to stand before Christ individually. Many faith traditions will be represented in Heaven because the differences between them are not really important.

There are Millions who believe its every Christians right to be a MINI-POPE.

In a sense SOLA SCRIPTURA is one denomination, in a constant chaotic turmoil of disagreement, divisivness, a worthless faith of 30,000 views. Those Westboro Baptist, thats your people, those Jehova Witness "bible students" thats your denomination, those calvnists thats your denomination.

EVEN HERE for two of you on this thread to agree on would be miraculous.


What this thread is about, is a exposing a LIE believers of Sola Scriptura don't talk about.

They said there is a bible verse that says that scripture is the FINAL and ONLY authority.

You have the easy task of merely showing it, Just give me the chapter and verse.

Notice I am not giving a challenge to show me a verse that says the bible is helpful and useful and true, and smells great.

I already believe the bible is always TRUE, always RIGHT.

YOU said there is a bible verse that says that scripture is the FINAL and ONLY authority.

Show us the verse.
