But when you take the traditional history away it just gets to be more cliched stereotype metaphors.
Just pick up ink on paper bible in English from a translation of another languages. Then let's call it solo scriptural . But we will say we read it only but the real reality is a lot of the ideas come from outside sources telling you the real meaning like books and other people. All the stereotypes come from someone outside. I know I would listen or read then go back to what said verse means not fully discovering what it meant on my own. So this fallacy of Bible alone is so wrong. Christ left a church not a book. The Church came first. The book is to be guide by the successive church given by Christ.
When you finally realize how it does not add up with out the true authority given by Christ.
I went to ordination of priests. The bishop explains the laying on of hands for two thousand years in the Church. Then all clergy from bishops to existing put hands on new priests then back again several times. Which is totally from scripture. No church does this from apostolic successive except Our Church and Orthodox branches.
ACTS 6: 5 This proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit; also Philip, Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism. 6 They presented these men to the APOSTLES, Who Prayed and LAID Their HANDS on Them.
7 So the word of God spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a large number of PRIESTS became obedient to the faith.
This has been going on from the beginning. Goes right to the book of Acts. The Lampstand is still here.
Praise be to Jesus !!!
