6/7. Hmm, the early church may not have had the complete Bible as we know today, but they did have the complete cannon.
The cannon exists whether we have it right or not. The fact that one church might have not had Jude or another not had 1 Timothy doesn't mean that the cannon of Scripture wasn't in existence. It was. The cannon determines itself because God inspired it. A group of men declaring something to be the cannon only states the obvious fact that it already existed. They did not give infalliability to cannon, the cannon was infalliable, they merely stated the obvious.
1. This is an infantile assertion that needs no answer. Who's putting this stuff out? Dave Armstrong or Jimmy Akin? It smacks of intentional ignorance.
21. This makes me think that Dave Armstrong is putting it out. Am I right?
19. Niether does the interpretation of the Roman Catholic church. They have infalliably defined a total of 7 verses. Congrats.
8. Intentional ignorance of the early fathers on their part. This, again, is pretty infantile. This may impress the unlearned laity, but anyone whose done an iota of reading knows this is a lie.
9. The modern day Roman Catholic church is FULL of teachings that are heretical to the official doctrine of Roman Catholicism. This obviously shows that Sola Ecclesia is completely ineffective to the ends that the Romanists claim it is, and that the Roman church has thrown church discipline to the wayside. When was the last time they excommunicated someone from heresey? This year? Yeah, for a heresey they had allowed to go on for what, like 60 years? Give me a break. Protestants at least have the commitment to Scripture to actually split over issues. Roman Catholics just maintain a facade of unity. It fails on every level. The ARP is united in it's beliefs. The Roman Catholic church is not.
11. Really? A church council? Identifying and determining are two different things. I can identify a Bible. Big deal.
Sorry, they're out of order, but these are retarded. I hope no one with a doctorate degree composed this swill, and I suspect it's Dave Armstrong, seriously.
