what a silly reformation

[bluegreen17]

But the Bible's own teaching is that itself, the Scripture alone, is the Christian's ultimate authority for faith and practice. No other document, treatise, or pronouncement is divinely-inspired.

that's sort of like saying i'm the pope. so who says so? i do,and i'm the pope so i should know.

christianity has been annoying me of late. and particularly the doctrine of sola scriptura and now,after reading some stuff on a website linked from my older sister's page,i'm also annoyed at protestantism in particular. well,the roman catholic church had it coming,because they warped the faith so much. but luther's reasoning is illogical,and it doesn't pass muster with my intuition either.

but what do i know?
just had to get this off my chest.
grrrr...

i think you're exactly right in equating sola scriptura with the papal claims. it's all self-referential (i'm trying to think of the word for that and can't locate it in my mental data banks!). i used to crave the sureness that either position offers but just don't buy it any more. finally stopped worrying that i'll go to hell for that...

I agree with you.

To get down to particulars, psychics and psychic phenomenom has been bugging me a lot lately. I especially dislike when "psychics" and new age formulas mix. I dislike the argument, "it's this way because I see it because I'm a psychic." That seems wrong to me.

There you go you, I think you got the idea now. that's right. what you have is the formation of how you see it and that how it should be nobody else should be able to tell you you are wrong in how you see it.

omni scriptorum, for me. sola is just too few.

or would that be universo scriptorum? never sure on these latin phrases.

It sounds to me as if we are on similar pages in similar texts.

Hope you are doing OK otherwise....
