Looking For Bible Quote

[SJP]

Budge, just provide the quote!! It's really easy, provide the quote, or be honest enough to admit that it does not exist.

Oh yeah and by the way, you never did provide evidence for this statement:

"The Canon was well known, read and accepted by Christians before Roman Catholicism made it "official"."

Evidence please

Budge,

I'll point out as well that only one of us believes in Sola Scriptura. You have no option but to have the passage in the Bible.

A straw man is the creation of a false thing completely ridiculous. We have created nothing, we have asked for something. You must have some passage that says one is to use the Bible and ONLY the Bible. Jesus tells us the final step in correcting someone is to take the person to the Church. This indicates an authority outside of written word. You know the passages used that explain the papacy. That, however, is not on trial, here. You have been asked a simple question. Post the passage(s) and we can proceed from there. Obviously, since you can use only the Bible, the passage must be in the Bible. It cannot be an oral tradition, nor can it be given you by someone who read the Bible.

I did not make your rule, nor did I ask you to follow it.

As we're seeing here, sola scriptura is a self-defeating Protestant invention.

I'm not seeing that yet. I think Budge is worried I will treat her quotes as she treats ours.

There is a final step in debate. You may say you cannot defend your position intellectually--either it is a gut feeling or you cannot express it properly. It's a fall back position. Not victory--more like a defensive stalemate.

I do give quarter, Budge, unless I say otherwise.

Another straw man, wanting me to find an exact sentence in the Bible, so you all can continue your unbelief in scripture.

Where does Scripture have a Pope mentioned?

It doesnt.

Where does Scripture mention Purgatory?

It doesnt.

Goes both ways.....[/quote]Hey, Budge. They've turned the tables on you. You've come up with some questions I don't think they've answered well, but this time you've got to come clean with a response without re-asking questions the catholics responded to (whether we agree w/ their answer or not). Even I can come up with some scripture that seems to support sola-scriptura, but I'm not capable of arguing a reasonable defense of the scripture. How about you, Budge?

The only with this is Budge's stand that what the Bible says is so obvious. You can read its words and derive on your own what it's saying. It takes the Catholic Church to obfuscate Bible. It should be trivial to defend her position.

I look forward to the quote Budge.

Then it should have come out right away, yes?

Considering the sheer number of bizarre variants of Chrisitanity based on the Bible, I think the Church has no corner on obfuscation.
