Are you saying you have posted previously under another name?
If so it seems to me you would be the one having vindictive intentions (as in not laying your cards on the table up front but having a hidden agenda)
I was a member of this forum years ago. I did not remember my user name or password, so I registered with the user name MissKate12. I was not aware that this was against the rules until admin told me someone had contacted them about it.
Luther may have coined the term Sola Scriptura, but the Holy Spirit has clearly told us that Scripture is all we need. He said it is able to make us complete/perfect!
2 Timothy 3:15-17
“…and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
2Peter 1:3
“…as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness,…”
Tell me, my friend. What did God leave out that we should know concerning salvation or how to live a life pleasing to God.
Cognitive dissonance is when someone is unable to admit they are wrong even when they are faced with overwhelming.
I don't mean to argue with you but I want to point out that nowhere in any of those passages, or in the entire bible for that matter, does the bible say ONLY Scripture. It says ALL Scripture. Big difference. Huge difference.
Oh what a difference one word makes. And the second verse, 2 Peter 1:3 isn't even talking about Scripture only - it doesn't even mention Scripture.
Can you explain what you mean by every book of the Bible has been added to? Do you mean the actual manuscripts?
Am I misunderstanding you? Did you just say the entire Bible didn’t exist at the time Revelation was written? Didn’t the Old Testament scrolls available when Jesus walked the earth. And what about the gospels, and letter? Are you saying they hadn’t been written, copied and circulated before Revelation was written?
The Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Roman Catholic Magisterium make the same claims you made in your last statement. God speaks directly to them too.
She said the ENTIRE bible didn't exist at the time of Revelation. She didn't say anything about the Old Testament only not existing. I believe she was talking about the canon of the bible.
I’m totally confused by your post. What new Scripture did men add? You’re not making sense. The words contained in Deuteronomy were God breathed. So are the words of the other thirty-four books of the Old Testament.
It's what the title is. It just struck me as I was looking at thread titles.
Yes, I know you elaborated some in the post, but the title itself, I think is somewhat indicative of the thread. It boils down to "Do we trust Scripture or not?"
As for it being the "only source for truth?" Obviously, no one thinks that. I mean...when I took my Driver's test way back when for the first time I actually read the DMV driving manual. I didn't read John's Gospel for that. So there IS knowledge and truth outside the Bible.
No. It boils down to "Do we trust scripture ONLY or not?" That's what the word Sola means. In the title. Of the OP.

The Scriptures are God-breathed. I trust in them for that reason. I trust in the God-breathed words for my salvation, and for knowing how to live a life pleasing to God. No other writings of men are God-breathed.

OK you do you.
I believe that the scriptures are from God and I trust them also, for that reason. They are honored and revered in my Church in fact.
Don't even get me started! LOL
