Scripture only, Luther Only

    While switching to Ste. Kateri Radio 98.7 from EWTN I heard a man say Luther was wrong and Scripture Only is wrong because “ Otherwise how can we change things?.” The answer is we can’t.

    St. Peter says “no scripture is open to private interpretation.” Therefore the Church, the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church  has to rule on difficult passages. Otherwise we would end up with 30,000 denominations as we have now plus one more. But more likely as Mark Twain said,    “ It’s not the things in the Bible that I don’t understand that bother me. It’s the things that I do understand.”

    That is why we need a central authority on Scripture so we turn to the compilation of
the Bible that was ruled about 400 AD that the 73 books we now have are THE BIBLE, are Holy Scripture.

    The Bible was written over 3000 years by various men. It is the inerrant Word of God. Yes, that really means Genesis is scientifically correct, and historically correct . If there is a teaching that says we are here by Time and Chance then that is wrong because it contradicts Genesis 1( plus logic, plus science et c..)  It contradicts Pope Benedict XVI in his opening remarks of his Papacy .

    If there is a teaching trend that says homosexuality is not a sin then it is wrong because it contradicts the many , many passages in the Old and New Testament that state otherwise.

    As my good friends in the Church of Christ taught me. “ We are saved by Faith" but Luther added “ We are saved by Faith ONLY." Pope Pius IX pointed this out in His Syllabus of Errors . Luther decided that the Book of James should be torn from th Bible.  He called it Straw but the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church had got there before Luther by about a thousand years so he couldn’t do it or even try without being WRONG.

     The Book of Revelation states that anyone wishes to take away or add from this Book shall be added unto him the plagues written in this Book. Some may say that only applies to Revelation ( Apocalypse) but it is the end of The Book of Books that the Church decided is One, called Holy Scripture, not holy scriptures.
    Luther did not really believe in Scripture Only but Luther Only. He decided to be his very own Pope. He could decide what is true and what is not true, what fit his theology and what did not. He spawned 30,000 other popes, that is those 30000 who started their own
churches. 
   
     As in the days of Noah “ Every man did what is right in his own eyes”, today for many truth is only what he or she decides what it is, a mere personal preference with no more authority than any other’s personal preference.  Read the true and inerrant account that has left much scientific and historic evidence to see what happens when we are our own Bible and own Pope.  Gay
