Actually, all you did was translate. You did not demonstrate that you know what is meant by the term.

The Church is meant to hold and support up the truth. It is not the truth. God’s Word is truth.

How do the definitions of ‘scripture alone’ and ‘faith alone’ differ from a Protestant perspective? At face value it seems pretty cut and dried. Don’t most Protestants believe that all you need is the Bible and your faith to make it to heaven? Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Colossians 1:18
King James Version (KJV)
"18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence."

I suppose Paul was just speaking metaphorically.
