True, but what I meant is that Luther started the Reform and from the reform came reform and reform and reform and reform…lol. So Luther’s view of SS would eventually become reformed depending on the personal interpretation of someone else. When you open the door, the door is open.
Please see my previous post, with link to Lutheran writings.I stated
Would you be so kind as to show me? I have, afterall, been asking you all day now.Thanks
Now you are trying to justify SS in the same category as the Trinity? Now that is an insult.
Totally! lol. Ultima is Latin for final or last. I figured everyone has a different definition for sola scriptura that I would just make one up and call it my own
That’s what we (Catholics) say about the Bible
We wouldn’t have any if it weren’t for the Catholic Church I think Luther’s answer is self-evident in the previous quote, “[D]ivine authority commands all not to be allies and defenders of impiety and unjust cruelty.” Further than that, I cannot speculate about the man’s personal views. Why did Leo favor excommunication rather than a pastoral correction of a German monk and rectifying the abuses in the Church at the time? Sin taints all - even those in His service.
Please see the link I provided; these are addressed in the following points.
Again, SS does not mean abandonment of tradition; only that it should be measured against Scripture. In pre-cannon times, what does it matter whether the Word was written or spoken? When the Holy Spirit gifted us the written Inspired Word, we were given a source to measure everything else (Scriptura scripturam interpretar).
Without any malice intended toward my Catholic brothers and sisters, and with great respect for the ecumenical work of the wonderfully Christian men that have recently served as the Bishop of Rome - I have to name the office of the papacy, for reasons that should be obvious to anyone familiar with the Lutheran Confessions. While many (and I will admit, most) of these reasons have been corrected at Trent, Vatican I and II, Rome still teaches Papal Infallibility. This obscures the wonderful clarity of the gospel.
I am not Saul; God has not placed me in a position of any earthly authority. I do not see how 1 Samuel applies here? But to answer your question in a word, no.
Okay,but here is where the highlighted words beg the question:
Nope. Not what I said, or meant. Your inference is off base … another “straw man” for you to shoot down.
That was for simkaPlease see my previous post, with link to Lutheran writings.
Ah no! It is called being pressured to produce something you realistically cannot provide. Again Simka, you are the one claiming it is a doctrine, yet have failed miserably to tell us when such a declaration happened? Is it pointless Simka or not convenient to ask: Chapter and verse?
Now that is very Protestant of you to say.
It is called: Dodge the bullet.Now that is very Protestant of you to say.
Still waiting for those verses you say you have. If you are going to believe that Scripture is the bases for all doctrine and belief then one should be able to back up every doctrine in Scripture right? SOOO where are those verses that state Scripture is the sole authority? Come on now Simka. I have been waiting all day. Please stop answering questions with more questions. Thanks
I once had Anglican family members like Simka. They are now part of the Catholic Church through the Anglican Use.
But we do trust Tradition - as long as it’s correct.

And be fair! You know that it’s in God’s promises that I find peace and serenity.
Just messing with ya Ben. We are always good. It just frustrates me when such folks give such arguments and positions, yet when asked to present legit sources all one ever gets is the same ole rhetoric.I once had Anglican family members like Simka. They are not part of the Catholic Church through the Anglican Use.
