That’s literally not what sola scriptura claims.

You’re not just stupid, you’re a liar.

I'm reading Trent Horn right now, and it seems to me the Catholic objection to Sola Scripture is mostly sophistry. Protestants claim everything should be tested based on what's in the written scripture. It's not that tradition has no role, it's just subordinate to apostolic teaching. The real difference is our definition of "apostle", which for Catholics includes people other than the original 12 + Paul.

So wrt to your question above, the early Christians trusted the apostles, the people who 1. were eyewitnesses, and 2. were directly sent out by Jesus. We continue to trust those same people, with the help of human reason applied in faith down the centuries.

Threads is never going to federate, lol. I guarantee it still won't be federating with shit on the first anniversary of the service.

Nevermind, I fell for the psyop.

Fall for what? He actually did join.

I'm all for more people joining the largest FOSS social network in world. I'm not going to pretend to understand why Biden would give Trump's company free press, but at the end of the day, it's a good thing all around for more people to use free software.

Who is going to fall for this?

I meant more in a general sense rather than talking specifically about Bluesky.

It’s the reason Google still owns a monopoly, some better alternatives have come about but there’s no mass adoption.

It was a critique on people not wanting to adopt new things because old thing has specific thing they like, even if new things may someday also have that thing and already has other cool things too.

Cool, thanks for stating the corporate position that literally everyone has already heard. I could have done something infinitely more useful with my time, like watch the grass grow, or shoot myself in both eyes with a bb gun, but I read this instead.

We're done, you're not a serious person.

> It's literally the word of God.

What does Holy Scripture says is the Word? John 1 says In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God... and the Word became flesh. It doesn't say the Word, which became flesh, has then become written. The written word is not God, which would be a Bibliolotry of which I find much of Protestantism guilty. It is holy, and it is God's word—yes, He is the ultimate Author—but I would be careful to say it is not The Word, especially as it says The Word is something other than itself.

I worship God—the Father, the Son Who is the Word of God, and the Holy Spirit—not the written word of God. I believe in the written word of God, but I know it is not God.

To study the scriptures is good and holy, but it is not what the whole of the Christian faith is about. That would veer into Bibliolotry.

> Vatican I explicitly condemns what you're trying to say. The Church is a witness to something that already existed, nothing more.

The Church is the "pillar and foundation of truth" as the Scriptures say. It is witness and custodian of Holy Tradition. That Holy Tradition is originally oral and over the lives of the Apostles became also written. That written Tradition is Holy Scripture. The Church needed God's inspiration and authority to do this. The Church predates the written and compiled Bible, but not Holy Tradition. The Church is founded by Christ upon the Apostles in His Holy Tradition.

You're winning all the Jesus points today 🫡

You're a troll is what I have to conclude, since you evidently don't desire to engage with our arguments.

> You people ... You make all Roman Catholics look bad

Your attacks on character fail. I left Protestantism because of the lack of historical basis, the rejection of Christ's clear teaching on the Real Presence (John 6 and the Last Supper narratives are very clear), and the complete lack of authority.

You claim to not defend Sola Scriptura, but you have given no other basis upon which KJV Onlyism can be founded. How is it not downstream of Sola Scriptura? Where else might the ultimate authority in the Faith lay which would allow a KJV Onlyism?

Jesus gave Peter the Keys to the Kingdom, and the rest of His Twelve the authority to forgive sins. It is upon them and their successors that the Church has authority, and that competes against KJV Onlyism. It does not stand against it in any way.

The only way KJV Onlyism may have a chance is to reject the authority of the Magisterium of Christ's One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. Show how anything else may support it.
