The Catholic Case Against Sola Scriptura
Response to comment [from a Catholic]: [The Catholic Case Against Sola Scriptura]
We
are to obey God
rather than man (Ac
5:29).
God's word can be understood (Mk
12:30).
Your wicked church
adds to God's word (Rev.
22:18).
Why would anyone look to them
for guidance?
2 Pe 1:3
See:
The Bible and Real Life
"...[W]e are not to obey serpent's personal interpretations and opinions."
Truth is truth independent from me (Ac 5:29, Mt 15:9).
"Then we can go ahead and ignore your personal interpretations and opinions (Ac.5:29; Mt. 15:9)."
Don't you ignore the
Word of God every day?
Jn 1:1,
2 Tim. 2:15;
Jas.
1:18
Then Peter
and the other apostles answered and said, We
ought to obey God rather than men [Acts
5:29].
"The apostles were obeying what their Lord
and Master had told them to do. Believers
are commanded to obey civil authority—except
when it comes in conflict with the
commandment of God." McGee,
Ac 5:29
This people
draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and
honoureth me with their lips; but their
heart is far from me [Matt.
15:7–8].
"The Lord called the scribes and Pharisees
hypocrites. This is the most frightful word
in Scripture. Nothing quite corresponds to
it, but it did not have quite the meaning in
that day that it does today. To us it is a
scorching word, but in Jesus’ day it simply
meant to answer back and was used of an
actor in a play. It means that an actor
would receive a cue and then answer back.
Jesus accused the scribes and Pharisees of
playing at religion.
The religious leaders were eager to have
people go through the ceremony of washing
their hands, but they ignored the condition
of the heart, which was the important thing
to God. In a very pious way they were
breaking the Mosaic Law.
My friend, we also are pretty good at
rationalizing. Parents say to their
children, “You wash your hands before you
come to the table,” but they pay no
attention to what their children see on
television, which is the thing that is
damaging the heart. Oh, of course, children
should wash their hands, but what is on the
inside is far more important." McGee, J. V.

Intensional
Eph 4:14
"Roman Catholicism vs. historical, biblical Christianity: "We have different
authorities, we believe different gospels, we worship different Christs, we are
led by different spirits and we are on different paths to eternity. Compare this
with the unity the apostle Paul described with those who are in one body and one
......Spirit, with one hope; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, on God and Father
of all who is over all and through all and in all (Eph
4:4-6)..." Full text:

Response to comment [from a Catholic]: "Truth is truth independent from me"
You removed the
scripture from my quote (Eph
4:14).
Truth is truth independent from me (Ac
5:29,
Mt 15:9).
