I don't get it, since most Protestants teach scripture alone, then how come they are so divided? I mean, if everything we need is plainly laid out in scripture and only in scripture, then ho come Protestants come to widely different viewpoints on doctrines like baptism, the ministry, communion, the virgin Mary, the afterlife, social issues, etc. They're all using the same exact book and claiming to use it alone, shouldn't they then agree on nearly everything? Shouldn't it be much more consistent? Help me understand.

a) scripture alone can never tell you what counts as scripture,

(b) scripture alone cannot tell you how to interpret scripture

(c) scripture alone cannot give us a procedure for deriving consequences from scripture, applying it to new circumstances

Secondly, in Apostolic Churches, many things came from the oral tradition which originated from the Apostles. How many times did the Apostles in the Bible say 'we'll talk more when I get there, I'll see you there I don't want to write too much, etc.? And the Bible also says Christ did many things that were now written. Christ didn't even command the Apostles to write anything, He commanded them to GO and teach all nations.

Im pretty sure someone will be abme to give you a personal (and thus external to scripture) explanation

Because most people will only believe the things they like in the bible


d16780 No.572659

How would someone just say that's scripture mean it is then?

1 Corinthians 2:13

What, you're saying that the Spirit of God supports thousands of interpretations of the Bible? The Holy Spirit guided the Church when the Scripture was being defined and the Spirit of God guided the Apostles to interpret it, that's why all Apostolic Churches have always had the same interpretation. Go figure.

Oh really? You know what the Apostles taught? Do you people even know how absolutely ridiculous you sound? I should take the word of some guy that has an apologetics website over all the Churches that were directly established by the Apostles? Man, give me a break. Drop the conspiracy theories and look at the facts.

Yeah it's in the New Testament

Is a meme, the fathers proved doctrine by scripture, and tradition must be tested thereby. Don't throw it all out and yolo scriptura.
