Only if interpreted through the lens of the doctrine of Apostolic Succession, which as an evangelical I do not hold.
Well, I, and all Catholics, do interpret it that way. That's Tradition with a capital T.
"Sola Scriptura ...is expressly forbidden in II Timothy."
"Only if interpreted through the lens of the doctrine of Apostolic Succession, which as an evangelical I do not hold."
Really, it goes beyond that. Sola Scriptura is a self-defeating idea. It is arguing in a circle. It goes beyond common sense and history, as well. If you look at Church history, you will find that all heresies look to the Scripture to verify their viewpoints. Without a living body (in our nation, the Supreme Court) to interpret the written word (in our nation, the Constitution), where would we be? We, 2000 years removed, wouldn't know anything for sure about salvation or God.
How can a pastor of the Assembly of God REALLY be sure that his interpretation of Scripture is correct, over the pastor across the street at 1st Baptist?
