What about the conviction that God has providentially preserved his word in the body of texts we know as the TR strikes you as verging on idolatry? |
Just because I have convictions it does not make them right and we should all examine our convictions in light of the faith.
Any sect can claim that its beliefs have been providentially preserved, it is a Roman argument and is always an assertion. I just cannot see the logic in asserting the TR has been providentially preserved especially as the TR contained noted that have been corrected.
I really do not mean to be confrontational about this, but the faith derives from apostolic truth not "because it is" type arguments.
