Acts 20:29-31 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
II Timothy 1:15 This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
By the end of the first century the only apostolic procession was by these grievous wolves. We must look to the scriptures themselves, not the church tradition laid by grievous wolves in sheep’s clothing.
Scripture should be the guide. Jesus Christ is the Son of God. God is not aman that he should lie. Jesus Christ is a man. I understand church tradition. I also understand mans ability to get it wrong especially in established institutions and governments. Abortion is held as a "right" by the USSC, but it does not make it a right in the true sense of the word as used by our founders. What the govt says is not to be confused with what the consitution says. The same concept goes for "church fathers" as opposed to the Word of God itself.
Religion is, was and always will be mans invention, what man does and says. Christianity is what God has done, is doing and will do in and through Jesus Christ.
Through this statement you accuse every Christian writer of being apostate to the faith and "grievous wolves". That's a pretty bold statement. What proof do you have of that? What writings? What historical proof bears you true?
Excellent.
You mean the Scripture those grievous wolves picked at a Church council?
