thing is, many can interpret it many ways

2017-06-07 15:03:04 UTC  

which is why we have Eccumenial Councils

2017-06-07 15:03:34 UTC  

Obviously man, for brevity I am summarising heavily here

2017-06-07 15:03:46 UTC  

That's the thing I despise about sola scriptura

2017-06-07 15:04:08 UTC  

it degenerates and causes schisms in theology everywhere, ultimately making ethics completely relative

2017-06-07 15:04:17 UTC  

Sorry

2017-06-07 15:04:20 UTC  

But how

2017-06-07 15:04:24 UTC  

the denial of a single Truth

2017-06-07 15:04:29 UTC  

Which one

2017-06-07 15:04:33 UTC  

So you're protestant, right?

2017-06-07 15:04:55 UTC  

I'm Reformed

2017-06-07 15:05:02 UTC  

so yeah

2017-06-07 15:05:14 UTC  

I think that man is born into sin

2017-06-07 15:05:22 UTC  

Man is unable to save himself

2017-06-07 15:05:48 UTC  

Jesus incarnated into human history in accordance with God the Father's plan from before time

2017-06-07 15:05:52 UTC  

sola fide

2017-06-07 15:06:13 UTC  

Tell me, how do the Reformed declare an interperation of scripture infallible?

2017-06-07 15:07:01 UTC  

In the reformed camp, the exegetical methodology is to interepret scripture in accordance with what else is said in scripture

2017-06-07 15:07:29 UTC  

So where something is vague, look at in context with what is said before and after it, along with other passages in scripture

2017-06-07 15:07:57 UTC  

But yeah, we also heavily follow the writings of Augustine, and his work on the sovereignty and grace of god

2017-06-07 15:08:02 UTC  

Along with of course Calvin

2017-06-07 15:08:45 UTC  

but what about declaring infallibility?

2017-06-07 15:08:56 UTC  

well scripture is infallible

2017-06-07 15:09:13 UTC  

Scripture is the inspired and authorative word of god

2017-06-07 15:09:25 UTC  

Everyting else is the work of mere men

2017-06-07 15:09:36 UTC  

Some of those dudes have a lot of insight

2017-06-07 15:09:43 UTC  

but they don't stand higher than scripture

2017-06-07 15:10:43 UTC  

Do you have a problem with biblical inerrancy?

2017-06-07 15:11:00 UTC  

>an interperation

2017-06-07 15:11:02 UTC  
2017-06-07 15:11:08 UTC  

scripture is obv infallible

2017-06-07 15:11:12 UTC  

but it's interperation

2017-06-07 15:11:18 UTC  

what is

2017-06-07 15:11:27 UTC  

interperation of scripture

2017-06-07 15:11:39 UTC  

What is your point?

2017-06-07 15:12:19 UTC  
2017-06-07 15:12:49 UTC  

The interperation of scripture, how do we make interperation infallible?

2017-06-07 15:13:00 UTC  

Well..

2017-06-07 15:13:03 UTC  

you can't

2017-06-07 15:13:10 UTC  

by definition

2017-06-07 15:13:24 UTC  

Like, there are points in the text where it is pretty obvious
