I very much appreciate the work you ...Mr. Hays,<br /> I very much appreciate the work you do in defense of the doctrine of Sola Scriptura. Many of the RC claims reguarding ecclesiology, apostolic succession, and the papacy, need to be addressed and you seem to be well equipped to do so. I look forward to your engagement in these discussions as they benefit myself, and many other here on the internet. I love your blog and deeply appreciate your work for the Lord. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to future posts dealing with this and many other distinctly RC issues. Many thanks in Christ.Discipled by Himhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06166951083543729038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-32376277357789715132010-01-14T21:36:56.330-05:002010-01-14T21:36:56.330-05:00TRUTH UNITES...

AND DIVIDES SAID:<br /><br />Out of curiosity, are conservative 5-Sola Protestants immune from return fire by a mirrored reflection?<br /><br />I.e., a slight transposition: "In sum, Hays doesn’t begin with what God has said and done in the Church, or said that He will do in times to come. <br /><br />Instead, he treats bibliology like a Rubik’s cube. He sits in his lounge chair, with the Rubik’s cube in his lap, toying with different permutations and optimal solutions as he tries to figure out the right biblical algorithm to solve the puzzle." <br /><br />The transposition is asymmetrical:<br /><br />1. I don't treat the Bible as a problem-solving device.<br /><br />2. One can't begin with what God has said and done in the church since, before you can get to that point, you have to locate the church in which God has (allegedly) said and done things.<br /><br />3. You can't point to church history since church history points in all different directions. <br /><br />3.stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16547070544928321788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-11518209472152524662010-01-14T18:29:49.776-05:002010-01-14T18:29:49.776-05:00"In sum, Liccione doesn’t begin with what God...<i>"In sum, Liccione doesn’t begin with what God has said and done, or said that he will do in times to come. <br /><br />Instead, he treats ecclesiology like a Rubik’s cube.
