• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Why sola scriptura is incorrect

Dissenting views are not permitted in this forum. Can you post this and defend it in another forum that permits debate?
There’s already a debate elsewhere

Really weird to me that sola scriptura prots completely ignore the parts about oral tradition. Also really weird how they completely ignore and in many cases twist the history about how and why they even have a canonized (albeit butchered, it's not just 66 books) Bible.

I think their position makes absolute sense given that God directly gave them the original KJV. None of the rest of that distraction really matters given the premise that God handed them the original KJV. Or the original NIV or whatever. As to those 'extra books', it is again obvious to them. When they go to the Christian bookstore the Bibles all have only 66 books. So Doh!

Also, it historically makes no sense.

^^ above reel is correct.
The Lord didn’t hand us a Bible, He gave us a Church
Yup. Council of Rome and Synod of Hippo determined the Canon of scripture.
