A: Five Questions for Julie

Denying the Resolution:
"The Bible is the Only Infallible Rule of Faith."


Question 1

(1) How can a Church that is the pillar and foundation of truth err?

Question 2

(2) When did the command of 2 Thess. 2:15 cease?

Question 3

(3) How can churches that did not have all 27 NT Scriptures or did not have any Scriptures come to know all truth? For example, if the church in India or Egypt did not have the Epistle to the Romans, how would they know the doctrine of justification?

Question 4

(4) How can 2 Timothy 3:16-17 teach Sola Scriptura during times of oral revelation or when revelation has not ceased?

Question 5

(5) Can you please cite an early Church Father that teaches that Sola Scriptura is only valid after revelation has ceased? Also, please make a comment on Irenaeus when he talks about the rule of faith:

“For how should it be if the apostles themselves had not left us writings? Would it be not necessary to follow the course of tradition which they handed down to those to whom they did commit the Churches?” (Against the Heresies 3,4,1)

“To which course many barbarians who believe in Christ do assent, having salvation written in their hearts by the Spirit, without paper or ink, and, carefully preserving the ancient tradition, believing in one God�Those who, in the absence of written documents, have believed this faith, are barbarians, so far as regards our language; but regards doctrine, manner, and tenor of life, they are, because of faith, very wise indeed�” (Ibid. 3,4,2)
