Dear Pilgrim,
Lastly, what is the alternative you would offer?
Firstly, before I attempt to find my way between the narrow page you have prepared for me; let me state for the record that I am not rejecting the Scriptures.
Secondly, I have read and studied considerably on this topic and considerably more than your thin archive on Sola Scriptura.
Thirdly, I have defended the position of Sola Scriptura for as long as I have been a Christian (30 years) It was taught to me as a young believer and I accepted it to be true, never questioning it.
Fourthly, I read nearly everything by William Webster and he certainly does a good job, but I found his arguments thin in the face of Rome.
Fifthly, I have studied nearly everything in the Trinity Foundation and spent eight solid months exploring Textual Criticizm, reading scores and scores of authors. (It is what I do)
I don't mind you asking me questions and I don't mind you answering them. The only danger there is that you muddy the water and then I have to really spend a lot of time trying to correct your preconceptions.
My answer is simple. The Body of Christ has the Spirit of Christ and this is the gracious gift of the Father to lead us and guide us into ALL truth. Rome may have her apocrypha and Church Fathers, but Protestantism has scores of writers, creeds, confessions and the like..it is no different to that of Rome ?
Your devilish snaps at me are unfriendly and if you do not hear the Lord speaking to you, it is not a reason to write your thoughts in the way you have been. It is unkind and unchristian. I will not further elaborate on how this is possible, but let's just say He does and 'my experience' is not that unique.
His,
