Any good bible verses for sola scriptura? I see catholics and orthos claim it's incoherent and doesn't even follow from it's own premises

  @SuperSnekFriend @doctorsex @SuperLutheran Not to hellthread here, but I don't personally take issue with people who do the Sola Scriptura approach for their own faith. My issue is when they attack anything else as heresy rather than recognizing that tradition outside the scripture is valuable. Tradition doesn't save you, but it's not worthless. A lot of what gets attacked as "going through the motions" by people outside of liturgical denominations is done for a very specific reason, and it's literally ignorance that causes many to dismiss it as void of meaning or spiritually dead or simply done to appease man.

  "Everything that I command you, you shall be careful to do. You shall not add to it or take from it.
  If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you and gives you a sign or a wonder,
  and the sign or wonder that he tells you comes to pass, and if he says, 'Let us go after other gods,' which you have not known, 'and let us serve them,'
  you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams. For the LORD your God is testing you, to know whether you love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul." (Deuteronomy 12:32-13:3)
  
  "Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
  Do not add to his words, lest he rebuke you and you be found a liar."
  (Proverbs 30:5-6)
  
  "For God commanded, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and, 'Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.'
  But you say, 'If anyone tells his father or his mother, 'What you would have gained from me is given to God,'
  he need not honor his father.' So for the sake of your tradition you have made void the word of God.
  You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, when he said:
  'This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me;
  in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'" (Matt. 15:4-9)
  
  "Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples,
  'The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses' seat,
  so do and observe whatever they tell you, but not the works they do. For they preach, but do not practice.'" (Matt. 23:1-3)

  I sent this to nugger as well and you might enjoy it. It's a portion of Elder Cleopa having to deal with prots in Romania, this one in particular addresses Holy Tradition, everything he has is based on scripture and quotes from the Holy Fathers: https://orthochristian.com/38631.html

    Elder Cleopa (Ilie). On Holy Tradition
    
    Holy Tradition is the teaching of the Church, given by God with a living voice, a portion of which was later written down. Like Holy Scripture, Holy Tradition also contains Holy Revelation, and is therefore fundamental for our salvation. Holy Tradition is the life of the Church in the Holy Spirit; and, in concord with the enduring life of the Church, it is a wellspring of Holy Revelation, and thus it possesses the same authority as Holy Scripture.

  @branman65 @blaaablaaaa >Saint Sandeater of the Unwashed Beard
  😂
  You're missing a lot of Christian history with that type of view. Chrystostom has an 8 part homily titled "Against the Jews" and he was exiled for standing up against heresy. The liturgy he created is still used 1600 years later. Every part of it has deliberate intentional meaning and symbolism. To equate respect for that with suicide cults is ignorant and insulting.

  @Dovahkiin @branman65 @blaaablaaaa I don't even hate Luther. If anything, I like him more than I should for a man of my religious leaning. My point is people leaning into Sola Scriptura twice over, as if it's not enough to trust only the scripture hit you must actively reject anything (written before Luther) that serves as a supportive buttress to your faith. Foolish.

  @BowsacNoodle @branman65 @blaaablaaaa Ehhhh I've talked to a Catholic about these alleged traditions, and he can't tell me why they exist or what purpose they serve, and ceetainly not where they're referenced in scripture. Maybe I just asked the wrong Catholic. I need to know that they are in fact tradition, rather than something I'm simply told is tradition. And from that point, purpose and validity are next.

  @Dovahkiin @branman65 @blaaablaaaa There's a lot of bad formation in modern Christianity. I give the Orthodox and modern RCC huge kudos for getting serious about their catechism in the last decade+. So many Christmas and Easter Catholics genuinely don't know much. I'm a layman and I know very very little; my knowledge is dwarfed by most Catholic and Orthodox on fedi. All I know is stuff I've asked my priest and researched to supplement, but it's enough to know about what traditions mean because I specifically searched that out. I came from a Protestant background, very Sola Scriptura and the like. It was and still is important to me that the actions are not simply dumb thoughtless motions to go through, because I did not want to be what Christ spoke against in Matthew 6:7
  >And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.

  @Crux_Invictus @Dovahkiin @branman65 @blaaablaaaa "By Scripture alone", which is fine until it's applied twice over as I mentioned. If any of the church fathers are speaking blasphemous stuff that doesn't jive with the Bible, cast it into the fire. Instead what I see with my own two eyes is people saying
  >WHERE IS [X RELIGIOUS PRACTICE THAT YOU DON'T CONSIDER ESSENTIAL FOR YOUR SALVATION BUT IMPORTANT FOR ONE OF MANY OTHER REASONS] FOUND IN THE BIBLE? NOT THERE, HUH? HERETIC!
  I see this daily on fedi. I saw it all the time when I was young, and it was one of the many things that made me leave the church for a while.

  @branman65 @blaaablaaaa @Dovahkiin Many reasons. It's an act of worship and sacrifice that you as a parishioner are a part of. It is pleasant to be reminded visually from iconography and the representation of the holy of holies with the royal doors, through the sounds of prayers and canting, the smell of incense, the ability to touch the cross, to taste and receive the body and blood of Christ. It is a very beautiful and moving thing. I have brought hardcore Baptists to my church who left with 100 questions and an entirely different perspective on our side of the faith than what they expected. It's extremely serious.

  I don't know the Catholic side and that's different than what @BowsacNoodle and I are arguing. One person not understanding complex meaning isn't a great thing to base it off of.
  
  You can look at the Orthodox Priest Stole:
  The epitrachelion comes down in front almost to the hem of his robes, and is symbolic of the priest's "anointing" (Septuagint: Psalm 132:2; KJV: Psalm 133:2).
  
  The Little Entrance of the Gospel embodies the beginning of Jesus’s public ministry.
  
  The Great Entrance symbolizes the triumphant entrance of the Lord into the Holy city of Jerusalem where He is about to be crucified for the salvation of the world.
  
  The incense is constantly referenced in the Old Testament worship and symbolizes our prayers going to heaven. Another point is many actions were parts of Old Testament worship and were "baptized" into Christian worship.

  a big example that I have probably said 6 gorillion times is jerome of stridon, I don't think it says in the Bible that you should pressure young impressionable women into starving themselves to death.

  So forgiveness of sins and then what?
  
  Why would you leave that up for that to be decided when it's spelled out:
  
  53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
  
  54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
  
  55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
  
  56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
  
  57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
  
  58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.

  Do you actually care? You don't seem to care about Ecclesiology.
  
  The short answer which could be incorrect, is Divine Liturgy is when we can commune and partake in the Body and Blood of Christ. The actions imbued with the life of Christ and the Gospel are reminders and represent what Christ came to do and what we are called to do. Additionally, we want to pray and worship with all of our senses.
  
  What do you think happens when you're saved, what is the end goal, beside heaven and eternal paradise?

How do you know that God didn't plan for that entire situation? Do you think it was easy for Jerome to suddenly be called a killer and threatened by every patrician around? For all we know that death sparked a major revival in the church even if it started from a few people hate-attending to get a good look at the guy they blamed. And here's the other thing: I never said Jerome was infallible. I'm not even sure this wasn't a mistake. I just think it's awfully presumptuous of you to take the heckin' /r/atheism tier take on this as a way to "own the trads". Shameful.

  @BowsacNoodle @branman65 @blaaablaaaa Are you of the opinion that Jesus' literal physical blood paid for sins? I always understood it as his death, not the actual blood itself. But since he is alive again, who knows how fast a perfect human body would produce blood. It could do it. But i dont see it as a necessity from which we should necessarily derive doctrine.

  Truly and to claim knowledge of his repentance is odd and impossible. We say every night the prayer Ezekial says we say: "Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live."

  @blaaablaaaa @BowsacNoodle @branman65 Oof that raises an interesting thought. Jesus, Enoch, and Elijah are the only physical human bodies in heaven, I assume is standard doctrine? Yet heaven is outside of our concepts of time and space, as far as we know. Weird.

  @branman65 @blaaablaaaa @BowsacNoodle Oof, possibly. The theory I've heard is their bodies must still die at some point, so they'll be the two prophets from Revelation who ultimatrly get killed. Implying to me that they currently have their bodies.

  @branman65 @Crux_Invictus @Dovahkiin @blaaablaaaa Do you know for sure that he told her "just starve yourself lol just don't eat lmao!" Or are you going on the apriori justification that everything between Jesus and Luther is trash?

  @BowsacNoodle @Crux_Invictus @Dovahkiin @blaaablaaaa when nigger cult leaders in kenya tell their followers to starve themselves to death to meet Jesus they are called dangerous heretics, when Jerome does it he gets canonized

  Yeah, it's a mystery and I don't really know the full answer. I know that it's eternity and outside of our understanding. I have heard somethings about how time and earth viewed from eternity is everything is constantly and forever happening. This is reflected in Church services, prayers, and Divine Liturgy as events of the Gospel are taking place, not just that they happened once.
  
  I will say it's funny that you're so against Holy Tradition but will mention Enoch. Jesus and the Apostles quoted Enoch which wasn't part of their scripture.

  But it's okay when luther does:
  
  Christ, our Savior, was the real and natural fruit of Mary's virginal womb . . . This was without the cooperation of a man, and she remained a virgin after that.
  
  {Luther's Works, eds. Jaroslav Pelikan (vols. 1-30) & Helmut T. Lehmann (vols. 31-55), St. Louis: Concordia Pub. House (vols. 1-30); Philadelphia: Fortress Press (vols. 31-55), 1955, v.22:23 / Sermons on John, chaps. 1-4 (1539)}
  
  Christ . . . was the only Son of Mary, and the Virgin Mary bore no children besides Him . . . I am inclined to agree with those who declare that 'brothers' really mean 'cousins' here, for Holy Writ and the Jews always call cousins brothers.
  
  {Pelikan, ibid., v.22:214-15 / Sermons on John, chaps. 1-4 (1539)}
  
  A new lie about me is being circulated. I am supposed to have preached and written that Mary, the mother of God, was not a virgin either before or after the birth of Christ . . .
  
  {Pelikan, ibid.,v.45:199 / That Jesus Christ was Born a Jew (1523)}
  
  Scripture does not say or indicate that she later lost her virginity . . .
  
  When Matthew [1:25] says that Joseph did not know Mary carnally until she had brought forth her son, it does not follow that he knew her subsequently; on the contrary, it means that he never did know her . . . This babble . . . is without justification . . . he has neither noticed nor paid any attention to either Scripture or the common idiom.

  @Dovahkiin @blaaablaaaa @Crux_Invictus @branman65 How is that a win? If anything it's highlighting ignorance on team Protestant around how our side views things.

  @blaaablaaaa @BowsacNoodle @Crux_Invictus @branman65 Men are fallible, and Prots don't feel beholden to extra-scriptural opinions. Prots get the win on this one.

  @Dovahkiin @blaaablaaaa @Crux_Invictus @branman65 I grew up Protestant, and read the bible regularly. Most of my media was Christian until I was like 16. I likely have a better understanding of evangelical and associated sphere beliefs than you people do mine. I consider you my Christian brothers, and I wish you'd stop with ignorant or bad faith interpretations of my beliefs. Some of you never will. Oh well.

  @BowsacNoodle @blaaablaaaa @Crux_Invictus @branman65 There's no reason to believe post-canon writers are divinely inspired and free from error. Despite the memes, Prots don't literally take Billy Graham's words as gospel, for example. It's not ignorance to stick to God's divinely-inspired word and nothing else, it's the only confirmed safe ground, spiritually speaking.

  Also, there is no consensus, half could believe as the Church does, half could make up their own interpretation.

  Why is there no reason to believe there is no divine inspiration anymore, what possible reason is there that divine inspiration stopped, people are now unable to communicate with God except through the Bible? Hundreds of Bishops through rigorous prayer, discussion, and divine inspiration guided by the Holy Spirit compiled the Bible and then it went away?

  I don't care what they say and my intention isn't arguments or hellthreads, I thought you were being trying to be genuine and not just do internet arguments. Most of their posts are railing against the Church and discussing anything isn't worthwhile.
