the only true source of truth form Christians? If so why?

I am not sure..I think it maybe...but some books I have been told are left out..I am not sure if that is true or not...I guess you have to go by what you may feel is right...

14 books were left out of the 1611 King James version of the Bible, called the Apocrypha. Don't know why they decided to leave them out, all kinds of opinions and ideas on that one.

I believe in something, it is called Faith!

As do I so whats your point

The Lighthouse?

at least that's what I gather from the JW's

Supposedly the tentets of Catholicism is that they use the New and Old Testaments, Papal Declarations, Apocrypha, and Catholic Chruch tradition.

They also say that only the Pope can speak for Christ and determine the correct interpretation of the word of the bible.

Protestantism denounced the tenets of the Catholic church and proclaimed that they will only follow the New and Old Testaments, and no man shall speak for Christ or be the interpreter of the Holy Scriptures. Only the Holy Spirit can do that.

But then ironically the Protestants all went on to become individual Paper Popes. They all want to claim to have knowledge of what the Bible says and how it should be interpreted.

This is why there are literally thousands of denominations of Protestantism. They all disagree on what the Bible says.

That is funny isn't it?

I mean when you stop and think about it, it could never work. The only way they could stick to their tenet that only the Holy Spirit can guide the reader would be to have no preachers! Have you ever seen a Protestant Chruch that has no preacher?

Although there actaully may be some denominations that do that!

My sister attended a "church" that had no preacher. They did have an 'organizer' who helped organize the services. But the services were actually all conducted by volunteers from the congregation that would get up and share whatever they felt like sharing.

Of course, that church wasn't based on Christianity of protestanism at all, but it was open to people of all faiths. They had no restrictions. I think it was even acceptable to get up and tell eveyone why you think life sucks and there is no God, (if you truly felt like doing that).

That would be blaspheme according to the Bible. But as a protestant I woudln't be allowed to say that because then I would be a man interpreting what the Bible says! Only the Holy Spirit is allowed to do that by their tenet which the never adhere to!

Just wondering how much of you seemingly endless wisdom you apply to what you say!

I have no wisdom.

I was just commenting on the topic and the tenets that other's profess but don't seem to adhere to.

I have no tenets to adhere to myself.

I am that I am.

Que Sara Sara

I'm not sure what to make of that statement. "A belief in something" is the very definition of faith. So to me that statement simpy means "I believe in what I believe in". Was that all you intended? Or was there some other intended meaning that I don't get?

For all of the responses no one has directly answered the question...is the Bible the sole source of truth for Christians?

I wish I could answer that for you but I'm not a Christian so I can't say for sure.

now you know by the answers given by those that duck it or missed it flying over their heads,huh?


those are the only answers you need, right?

no it's not.
