Hi Marlin. I'm not sure why you are quoting the entire credits. Are you simply expressing agreement with what I wrote before? Are you trying to open up some more dialogue or make a point?
I want to make a few comments about my perspective on the following comment: > The challenge issued by Rome over 100 years ago remains: > Either the Catholic Church is right, or the Seventh Day > Adventists are right. There can be no other choice. And > if one choose neither, then the whole doctrine of Sola > Scriptura collapses, and with it, the pillar upon which all > of Protestantism stands. First, the pillar of Protestantism is not Sola Scriptura. This is the pillar of only some of the reformers. Furthermore, how they used this pillar is not exactly how some represent them. I personally do not believe in Sola Scriptura. The Scriptures tell us that God speaks by many means and not just by Scripture. For example, the Holy Spirit which we receive within us is one way in which God speaks. Also, the Bible says that the church is the pillar and ground of truth, and if we read 1 Corinthians 12, we find that it is through the varied members of the body of Christ that Jesus speaks to the rest of the members. The Scriptures also teach that the letter of the law kills but the Spirit gives life. In any case, I do believe with the tenet that Scripture is a higher authority than either revelation or tradition. Therefore, the phrase above, "there can be no other choice" is false. Nevertheless, even if Sola Scriptura were followed, a very good case can be made that there has been a disannulling of the commandments of the Hebrew Scriptures with regard to Sabbath, Passover, etc. The Catholics and the Seventh Day Adventists are wrong on this regard. If I had time, I would present the arguments myself, but there are plenty of sources out there that have already made the arguments. Peace be with you.
