Had to pull the original release of this track. The lyrics compared God's power to magic, and that just doesn't honor Him. Humans perform magic; God operates in sovereign authority. I took it down, cut that comparison out completely, and rewrote the verse to get the truth right.
@CatholicDrip___@SH18791@Butch30586594 The early Church didn't create the authority of Scripture they recognized what God had already inspired (2 Tim 3:16). A thermometer doesn't determine the temperature; it just measures it. The sheep know the Shepherdβs voice (John 10:27).
@CatholicDrip___@SH18791@Butch30586594 This isn't idolatry either is it?
Let's look at the definition of the word 'idolatry'
"Worship of idols or the extreme devotion to and reverence for a person or thing instead of God."
@CatholicDrip___@Butch30586594 God preserved His Word through the Holy Spirit, not because of an institution, but despite human weakness. The true Body of Christ isnβt a denomination or a hierarchy in Rome it consists of all believers who place faith in Jesus Christ alone (1 Cor. 12:12-13). Glory is for God.
@CatholicDrip___ Faith in Jesus Christ as Savior comes directly from the Holy Scriptures and a personal relationship with Him, not through any human institution. The Bible is the sole authority for Christian belief and practice, and all true faith is founded on the Word of God alone.
@metathomist@JakeHarlan03 Objectively, the verse is pro-sola scriptura. By stating that Scripture fully equips the man of God and makes him adequate for every good work, the text logically affirms the total sufficiency of Scripture for faith and practice, which is the core premise of the doctrine.
