It's not just intuition as well. Ppl try to apply reason to morality all the time though it often ends up miserably

Say Kant's categorical imperative

Or Bentham's weird utilitarian formula

Fr. John Whiteford, an Orthodox priest from Texas, whom I had the pleasure of meeting once, had a good explanation of this here: http://stvladimiraami.org/pamphlets/solascriptura.pdf

sola scritura means that all that is necessary for salvation is in scripture, do you disagree with that

@Mr. Nessel Again, I can't find anything I can completely disagree with you here. An imperfect being trying to achieve perfection on his own through imperfect methods is engaging in a Sysyphian task.

And yes, I agree 100% about your examples of Kant and Bentham

Depends on what you mean by that @Skellington

I don't think owning a bible and reading it- however thoroughly or sincerely- is enough for salvation on it's own

It's like what James 2:19 says

so what else is necessary

Actually following up on what's written

But also look at the account in Acts where Phillip encounters the Ethiopian

Sola scriptura doesn't refer to knowledge being sufficient for salvation

Acts 8:26-40

Lutheranism is explicit about the need of good works and whatnot

The Sola scriptura is pitted against papal infallibility ex cathedra

Oh for sure

i dont understand your argument

But, as in politics, there is a third way here that's better than both

all that is contained in scriputre is what is necessary for salvation

Phillip had explain it to the eunuch, did he not?

Acts 8:31

Whenever catholics try to defend their traditions they always use the bible

the fact that you are quoting scripture to me to prove your point, proves my point

the base is scripture

The two are mutually exclusive?

no

Well, there you go then

I'm not Roman Catholic, btw

its just that some traditions or interpretations become corrupted

like indulgences

But what I've been taught within the Orthodox Church is that, yes, Scripture is the base

protestants just disagreed with the catholics interpetations, so we split

But there is Holy Tradition that has grown from it

But if it's a matter of interpretation, by what standard can it all be judged?

Or, more clearly, how can you tell if one interpretation is right where the other is wrong?

you debate it
