Since Paul also said the Holy Scriptures are trustworthy "for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works."]/quote]
Ahh yes, the Ol go to for Protestants, 2 Timothy 3:16–17, know it well, the claim of Protestants that Scripture is sufficient as a rule of faith. However, study man, an examination of this verse in context shows that it doesn’t claim that at all; it only claims Scripture is “profitable” (Greek: ophelimos), that is, helpful. (Notice that the passage nowhere even hints that Scripture is “sufficient”) I would suggest reading preceding verses 14-15 and then we could discuss 2Tim.16 further.
it seems that Paul believed, as did Jesus and the rest of the Disciples, that the "Truth" of God is found in Scriptures, taught by those teachers God's Himself Chose, including His Own Son, the Christ, the Rock of Israel.
It seems? Chapter and or verse where it says this, please.
So at least according to the God and Christ "of the Bible", the answer would be YES.
Thank you study man. By this statement of yours, I can only surmise that you are an adherent of the Protestant belief of sola scriptura. If I am correct, could you please provide us with the chapter/ verse from the bible to back up your claim that "the bible" is the pillar and ground of the truth - i.e., the upholder and foundation of the truth.
I, as a cradle Catholic don't believe that you can.
Balls in your court!!
However, if you do not believe in the Protestant doctrine of "sola scriptura" (the bible alone) my apologies.
Have a Blessed Day/Palm Sunday/and Holy Week
