  10. TOP TEN REASONS FOR REJECTION OF “SOLA SCRIPTURA”

  11. #1 SOLA SCRIPTURA is a Self-refuting Doctrine Bible does not support SOLA SCRIPTURA(2 Tim. 3:16-17)

  12. 2 Timothy 3:15-17 • 15 and that from infancy you have known (the) sacred scriptures, which are capable of giving you wisdom for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. • 16 All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for refutation, for correction, and for training in righteousness, • 17 so that one who belongs to God may be competent, equipped for every good work. • Confraternity of Christian Doctrine.

  15. #4 The Church is the Final Authority (Matthew 18:15-17) • 15 “If your brother sins (against you), go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won over your brother. • 16 If he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, so that ‘every fact may be established on the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ • 17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell the church. If he refuses to listen even to the church, then treat him as you would a Gentile or a tax collector. • Confraternity of Christian Doctrine. Board of Trustees, Catholic Church.

  16. #5 The Bible is Not Plain and Simple(Acts 8:27-31) • 27 So he got up and set out. Now there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of the Candace, that is, the queen of the Ethiopians, in charge of her entire treasury, who had come to Jerusalem to worship, • 28 and was returning home. Seated in his chariot, he was reading the prophet Isaiah. • 29 The Spirit said to Philip, “Go and join up with that chariot.” • 30 Philip ran up and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?” • 31 He replied, “How can I, unless someone instructs me?” So he invited Philip to get in and sit with him. • Confraternity of Christian Doctrine.

  17. #5 The Bible is Not Plain and Simple(2 Peter 3:16) 16 speaking of these things as he does in all his letters.

  18. #6 No Rule of Faith for Early Christians • The bible was canonized only in the 4th century • The New Testament was written around 60-100 A.D. • Printing was invented only in the 16th century

  19. #7 The Holy Spirit is Guaranteed to the Church (John 14:25-26) • 25 “I have told you this while I am with you. • 26 The Advocate, the holy Spirit that the Father will send in my name—he will teach you everything and remind you of all that (I) told you. • Confraternity of Christian Doctrine.

  21. #8 The doctrine of Sola Scriptura was introduced for the first time only around the 14th century by John Wycliffe, a forerunner of Protestant Reformation

  22. #9 The Doctrine Produces Bad Fruit(Division and Moral Relativism) The world seeks to conform the teaching of Christ’s Church to fallen human desires and sinful lifestyles while the Church seeks to conform human lives to the teachings of Christ.

  23. #10 Seven OT Books Missing! • The books of Wisdom • Judith • Tobit • Ecclesiastes • Baruch • 1 & 2 Maccabees • Part of Ester and Daniel Removed from the Alexandrian or Greek Canon (“Septuagint”) which was the translation used by Jesus and the New Testament writers.

  24. RULE OF FAITH INCLUDES APOSTOLIC TRADITION

  25. 2 Thessalonians 2:15 15 Therefore, brothers, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught, either by an oral statement or by a letter of ours. • Confraternity of Christian Doctrine.

  26. CCC 82 82  …the Church, to whom the transmission and interpretation of Revelation is entrusted, "does not derive her certainty about all revealed truths from the holy Scriptures alone. Both Scripture and Tradition must be accepted and honored with equal sentiments of devotion and reverence."

  27. Only traditions that contravene the Word of God are condemned in scriptures CCC 82

  28. Colossians 2:8 8 See to it that no one captivate you with an empty, seductive philosophy according to human tradition, according to the elemental powers of the world and not according to Christ. • Confraternity of Christian Doctrine.

They do not wash (their) hands when they eat a meal.” • 3 He said to them in reply, “And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? • 4 For God said, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and ‘Whoever curses father or mother shall die.’ • 5 But you say, ‘Whoever says to father or mother, “Any support you might have had from me is dedicated to God,” • 6 need not honor his father.’ You have nullified the word of God for the sake of your tradition. • Confraternity of Christian Doctrine.

  30. Only sacred/apostolic Tradition is part of the Word of God

  31. CCC 83 83  The Tradition here in question comes from the apostles and hands on what they received from Jesus' teaching and example and what they learned from the Holy Spirit. The first generation of Christians did not yet have a written New Testament, and the New Testament itself demonstrates the process of living Tradition.

  32. THE “MAGISTERIUM” (TEACHING OFFICE) IS THE GUARDIAN AND INTERPRETER OF THE WORD

  33. It’s task is to listen, guard, expound and interpret the Word

  34. CCC 85 85  "The task of giving an authentic interpretation of the Word of God, whether in its written form or in the form of Tradition, has been entrusted to the living, teaching office of the Church alone. Its authority in this matter is exercised in the name of Jesus  Christ.“ This means that the task of interpretation has been entrusted to the bishops in communion with the successor of Peter, the Bishop of Rome.

  35. CCC 86 86  "Yet this Magisterium is not superior to the Word of God, but is its servant. It teaches only what has been handed on to it. At the divine command and with the help of the Holy Spirit, it listens to this devotedly, guards it with dedication, and expounds it  faithfully. All that it proposes for belief as being divinely revealed is drawn from this single deposit of faith."

  36. CCC 890 890 … It is this Magisterium's task to preserve God's people from deviations and defections and to guarantee them the objective  possibility of professing the true faith without error. Thus, the pastoral duty of the Magisterium is aimed at seeing to it that the People of God abides in the truth that liberates. To fulfill this service, Christ endowed the Church's shepherds with the charism of infallibility in matters of faith and morals…

  37. The Magisterium is lodged in the Pope and the College of bishops provided they are united with him • “ The College or body of bishops has no authority unless united with the Roman Pontiff, Peter’s successor” (Lumen Gentium 22)

  38. The Magisterium is equipped with the gift of Infallibility

  39. Conditions of Infallibility • It must be an act of the Pope or of all bishops united to him • The act must be a public act of his office as successor to Peter (the act of teaching, not the action or inaction of the pope) • It must be intended to be binding, requiring submission • It must be regarding faith and morals

  40. Kinds of Magisterium • Extraordinary MagisteriumCCC 891 • Ordinary MagisteriumCCC 892

  41. CCC 891(Extraordinary Magisterium) 891 "The Roman Pontiff, head of the college of bishops, enjoys this infallibility in virtue of his office, when, as supreme pastor and teacher of all the faithful - who confirms his brethren in the faith - he proclaims by a definitive act a doctrine pertaining to faith or morals. . . . The infallibility promised to the Church is also present in the body of bishops when, together with Peter's successor, they exercise the supreme Magisterium," above all in an Ecumenical Council. When the Church through its supreme Magisterium proposes a doctrine "for belief as being divinely revealed," and as the teaching of Christ, the definitions "must be adhered to with the obedience of faith." This infallibility extends as far as the deposit of divine Revelation itself.

  42. CCC 892(Ordinary Magisterium) 892 Divine assistance is also given to the successors of the apostles, teaching in communion with the successor of Peter, and, in a particular way, to the bishop of Rome, pastor of the whole Church, when, without arriving at an infallible definition and without pronouncing in a "definitive manner," they propose in the exercise of the ordinary Magisterium a teaching that leads to better understanding of Revelation in matters of faith and morals. To this ordinary teaching the faithful "are to adhere to it with religious assent" which, though distinct from the assent of faith, is nonetheless an extension of it.

  43. The First Vatican Council in 1870 states: “Moreover, by divine and Catholic faith, everything must be believed that is contained in the written word of God or in tradition, and that which is proposed by the Church as a divinely revealed object or belief either in solemn decree or in her ordinary universal teaching. • “Religious submission of the will and intellect must be given, in a special way, to the authoritative magisterium of the Roman Pontiff, even when he does not speak ‘ex cathedra’. (Lumen Gentium 25)

  44. Difference between Doctrine and Dogma

  45. The Doctrines of the Church include Dogmas. • We should believe all the doctrines of the Church and not just the dogmas.
