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

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. (1991).

Jesus loves you (Jn 3:16). Jesus is willing to save you (2 Pe 3:9). Repent (Eze 18:30-32; Ac 17:30). Believe (Mk 9:23).

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: No Idolatry and False Teaching

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).
