... on Sunday's Scriptures.
Next time your friendly neighborhood fundy comes around spouting their sola scriptura nonsense ask them to show you the scriptural basis for that dogma. They will inevitably quote Paul's Second Letter to Timothy: "All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for refutation, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that one who belongs to God may be competent, equipped for every good work" (3:16-17). That's all well and good. But nowhere does that verse say that everything we believe must be spelled out in the Bible. The truth of the matter is that we will not find such a statement anywhere in the Bible. And that my friends, is a huge problem for the sola scriptura crowd. What we are left with is a big paradox: If one of my foundational beliefs is that everything I believe must be in the Scriptures, but nowhere in the Scriptures does it tell me that everything I believe has to be in the Scriptures, it then follows (using basic logic) that the dogma of sola scriptura violates itself!

Fr. Charles Ledderer, The Dakotas, USA you are impersonating a Catholic priest. Your identity is fictitious. There are people on here that are believing you. I am asking you not to trick people anymore.
