Interesting link here, where in Scripture is ? I’m not saying there isn’t an answer but it might take some work to find a reference.

“Matthew 11:21, “Woe to thee, Corozain...For if in Tyre and Sidon had been worked the miracles that have been worked in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.”

What are these miracles in Corozain? Where is the reference?

Matthew 23:2, “The Scribes and the Pharisees have sat on the chair of Moses.”

Where is this ‘chair of Moses’ referenced in Scripture?

Acts 20:35, “In all things I have shown you that by so toiling you ought to help the weak and REMEMBER the Word of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

Show me the verse where Jesus said these words.

Matthew 2:23, “And He went and settled in a town called Nazareth; that there might be fulfilled what was spoken through the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.”

In what verse did the prophets say this?”

It might not matter in regards to our being equipped to perform good works as He has intended.

I’m not coming up with anything new here. It’s the classical counterargument supporting sola Scriptura during the counter-reformation. I forget the verses, ...I wanted to say there are a number of verses in the epistles all associated with 3:16, like 2Ti 3:16, Pet 3:16, 1Cor 3:16....

Although it seems corny, there seems to be a number of doctrines which happen to coincide with similar verse numbering schemes from different books,..not always, but surprisingly so when encountered.

It's not interesting at all...Just some clown making stuff up cuz he knows you guys will eat it up...

Matthew 23:2, “The Scribes and the Pharisees have sat on the chair of Moses.”

He first perverts the word of God and then he doesn't know enough bible to find the answers...

Mat 23:2 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:

The Pharisees didn't sit in Moses' chair...Moses didn't have a chair...Moses had a seat...Moses had many seats, depending on which rock he sat on...So the seat was not a chair...It was a POSITION...

Exo 18:13 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people: and the people stood by Moses from the morning unto the evening.
Exo 18:14 And when Moses' father-in-law saw all that he did to the people, he said, What is this thing that thou doest to the people? why sittest thou thyself alone, and all the people stand by thee from morning unto even?

Moses SAT as the judge of his people...THAT is Moses' seat, and not his CHAIR...

Mat 23:4 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.Mat 23:5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
Mat 23:6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
Mat 23:7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
Mat 23:8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
Mat 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
Mat 23:10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.
Mat 23:11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
Mat 23:12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

This stuff sound familiar??? These are the same Pharisees who, a couple hundred years later claimed they have finally figured out what is and isn't scripture...And that, just so you'll know your history...
