Its not real, doesn't exist, it is not possible. People do not go by scripture alone, rather, they go by their interpretation of and translation of scripture alone. There's a big difference and it also explains why there can be big disagreements between groups. If people truly went by scripture alone and got the Truth out of it, everyone would agree on doctrinal issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Only those who would receive a love for the truth that they might be saved . . . the rest would still receive strong delusion. That's the way it has always been.

No judging anybody, only go by the Bible. Why only go by the Bible and ignore Apostolic Tradition? Also, will you use a complete Bible or an edited Bible without the Apocrypha? I Guess since I have only used the KJV, and not seen a Bible with the Apocrypha? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the way it has always been. Blind, I don't understand what you're trying to say. "Only those who would receive a love for the thruth that they might be saved" what? It seems like an incomplete thought, or its supposed to allude to something that I am not grasping. Please clarify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astralis will you let me know where we could start to study a biblebook from the Bible by Sripture alone, lets do it like Timothy suggested in love and not let pride get a change to take over, only the truth count. Munari, if you don't believe this is possible please do not intervene and let us do this without your comments. Thank you. In Christ, Angels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you shouldn't be afraid of Apostolic Tradition. Only the Truth can count. When you accept this then we can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Xan Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 Why don't we start with what TrustingJesus said? Salvation is the best part of the Bible, and I don't think there is anything about salvation in the Apocrypha, so that way it won't even be an issue and we can still use our own Bibles without debating cannon or translations.

Guest astralis Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 It is revealed through sacred scripture and Tradition. You can't get rid of one without diminishing the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
