Sola Scriptura: The failure of extra-biblical oral church traditions When Roman Catholic and Orthodox defenders attach sola Scriptura, they appeal to references to tradition in both scripture and the writings of the Church Fathers. They use these references to justify the introduction of extra-biblical doctrines which they say should not be rejected because they were taught orally by the apostles themselves. Every time they see the word "tradition" they think it destroys the truth of sola Scriptura. There are a number of serious problems with this view. Scripture ... How can we know what antiquity was except through the Church? ... I may say in strict truth that the Church has no antiquity. It rests upon its own supernatural and perpetual consciousness. ... The only Divine evidence to us of what was primitive is the witness and voice of the Church at this hour." (Henry Edward Manning, The Temporal Mission of the Holy Ghost: Or Reason and Revelation, 1865, p 227-228) C. Jesus condemned the error of using tradition: Catholic/Orthodox are guilty!

Trinity proof texts: John 10:30-33 ... If Jesus was merely bowing out he would not have added any fuel to the fire by saying, "I was sanctified and sent by the Father because Father is in Me, and I in the Father". This merely repeats "I and the Father are one" and merely ignited their anger a second time. Jesus never denies the charge that he is God, but actually adds a very good reason for them to accept his claim of deity based upon his miracles. The idea that Jesus settled for a lower term "a son of god" than the wicked judges were called (gods) would only be relevant in any logical way if Jesus was viewed a more righteous than the wicked judges. In fact, the wicked judges were highly respected in their day, like the hypocritical leaders of Jesus' day. Jesus, on the other hand, was viewed as one worthy of death for claiming to be God. The judges never actually went around calling themselves "gods". So the lesser title would correspond to a lesser being. III.

Josh McDowell's Powerful Evidience for Resurrection ... When studying an event in history, it is important to know whether enough people who were participants or eyewitnesses to the event were alive when the facts about the event were published.

For instance, if we all witness a murder, and a later police report turns out to he a fabrication of lies, we as eyewitnesses can refute it.

Trinity proof texts: Micah 5:2-3 ... For Jehovah's Witnesses to be dogmatic about the definition of the word, is therefore unscholarly. In fact, it is a rather imprecise Hebrew word that certainly DOES NOT need to indicate the "origin" in the sense of "creation point of a creature". If the word [4163 mowtsa'ah] was used only one other time outside of Micah 5:2 to denote an act of God creating in Genesis 1, that would be good evidence, but still not conclusive. The word [4163 mowtsa'ah] is derived from another Hebrew word [4161 mowtsa'].

Their wrath eventually took the form of sporadic revolts to one of which the Rylands papyrus bears witness.
