wrong. not only are they implied in scripture, they absolutely had been implicitly taught 

where are you getting your (mis)information?


No, they're not. In fact, it's quite the opposite. James says we are NOT saved by faith alone. Luther disagreed. It's why he wanted to remove James from the Bible. Jesus said He would judge us by how we cared for the poor and hungry. No mention of Sola Fide. Sola Scriptura can't be true since the Church existed for almost 400 years without it and it makes no claim to be the sole source of Christian dogma. Where do I get my facts? History. Find a Church document that ever advocated for Sola Fide and Sola Scriptura.

These threads are always fascinating as a third party observer.

The conviction with which highly educated, intelligent adults argue over complete nonsense is amazing.

what the heck is this? there isn't "one true church." protestants are heretics? why? protestants can't be saved? why?


That's one of the things in the Roman church that changed with Vatican 2. Prior to it, those outside of Rome were lost. After it, they softened that stance. Pre Vatican 2 Latin Mass Roman Catholics still stick to the old view, the Novus Ordo people don't hold to that.

The protestant reformation was what saved the body of Christ.

The Roman Catholics are the great satan

I grew up Catholic but now I just consider myself a Christian. Organized churches are full of drama just make things confusing for people like me who try to get as much knowledge as possible.

the bible says the opposite of the solas. wow.

so you don't understand james. that's all you had to say. that is NOT what james is saying. would you like for me to introduce you to some commentaries that can correct your misconception?

quote:

Luther disagreed. It's why he wanted to remove James from the Bible
and he was mistaken on that matter.

quote:

Jesus said He would judge us by how we cared for the poor and hungry
which is preceded by saving faith and of course you would know that if you had studied james properly, such as james 2:23.

ftr, you are taking james at his word and are out serving the community, ministering to those who are hurting, giving of your time, you money, right?

quote:

No mention of Sola Fide
there is not one verse in the entire bible that contradicts sola fide. you made one attempt to show it and failed.

quote:

Sola Scriptura can't be true since the Church existed for almost 400 years without it
holy cow you are deluded. have you ever heard of the rylands papyrus (p52)? do you know the significance of 1 cor 15:3-4?

quote:

it makes no claim to be the sole source of Christian dogma
jesus treated scripture as the true, infallible word of god. but you knew that already didn't you?

quote:

the bible itself. the patristics.

listen, you and your assertions are precisely the kind of thing that causes many people to reject christianity, like david kinnamon wrote about in unchristian. i know you don't see that right now because you are indoctrinated. i'm trying to help you break out of that and see what is going on in the real world of christianity, not the institutionalized, bastardized version of it. you don't even know the history of the reformation. you have been inculcated with some nonsense whitewashed version of it. you know just enough to be dangerous

you are hurting the kingdom. please stop.

1054

also, official churches of the "body of Christ" can divide millions of times. The actually body is always one. It's been that way since Pentecost, and it's not just Catholics, or just Protestants, Orthodox, etc.
It runs through them all!

what in the world is this? you want a "source" to tell you about the well known, abundantly documented history of the reformation? do you also need a source to tell you about the 30 years' war, the industrial revolution, Magellan, the american revolution, ww1, ww2, etc?

how about ANY history textbook that covers that time period. start there.

you must either teacher 7th grade church history at a Roman Catholic school or your child teaches you what they've been learning.
Have a look at neutral history sometime. Literally no one shares your interpretation of Luther.

This seems to be about Russian political government wanting to incorporate the church as a control wing of government. Many right wing people here also want a church/government merger. It is disastrous for the church.

That’s not how it works

The burden of proof lies with the person making the affirmative claim, which only one of us is doing. I’m simply claiming that without extraordinary evidence for your extraordinary claim it’s nonsensical to base ones entire life on that premise.

Your job is to provide the extraordinary evidence to dispute what is effectively the null hypothesis.

I am converting to Orthodoxy from Catholicism so I'm no Catholic apologist but that's simply false. The Catholic Church has never held such a doctrine.


Dude, have you ever read some of the reasons for the Reformation? People gave money to the church because priests told them it would give them atonement before the Reformation.
