Protestant theologians drove the quest to go back to the original greek and hebrew manuscirpts and have bibles in languages that people could speak and read man
They were sick of the Latin Vulgate and the forbidding of any bible not in latin
''How can one get to the one kingdom to the other (vv1-7)? By the unity of grace, faith and works (v.9). Not that these are equal, for grace is uncreated and infinite, whereas our faith is limited and can grow; good works good works flow out of authentic faith. Works cannot earn us this great treasure-it is a pure gift-but those who recieve this gift do good. We are not saved *by* good works but for good works''
Actually Sola Scriptura is exactly that, clumsy misinterperation
I agree with all of that man
Papal infallibility was the replacement of Eccumenial Councils
You haven't said anything that the protestants disagree with
Except that Eccumenial Councils determine what is heresy or not
By ''giving the finger'' to infallibility you open the path to relativism
no
You may agree with what I said
btu what about someone else?
He gave the finger to the claim that the pope stands for christ on this earth
ie. the literal 'vicar of christ'
He is a man
And the popes decrees are not infallible
And then you get the logical inconsistancy of one pope saying something supposedly infallible
and then another pope saying something different
I agree on papal infallibility being wrong
And then you have popes that we full on perverts and drunks
but the thing is you're trading what is a tool to stamp out heresy with the chance for heresies to grow
And others who lusted after power and greed
stop talking about popes, we're talking about the idea of interperation infallibility
And then others who were controlled by whoever was controlling Italy at the time
along witht he holy roman empire
yeah, anyway
We both don't like the pope
except protestants don't have infallibility of scripture
This is the thing man
no wait
scripture interperation
yeah, that
In scripture itself, Paul writes warning the early church of false teachers
and false prophets, yeah
The thing is, there has always and will always be those people
The impetus and responsibltiy is upon members of the church and church leaders to call those people out for what they are
hacks and fakes
out to scam people's money
Problem is with such a system you get heresies easily
or simply lead them away from the truth
because church leaders will disagree with each other unless you have robust doctrine
