Sola Scriptura and the Canon Revisited: Guest Post by Adam Blauser
As I have gotten involved in dealing with Roman Catholicism and sola scriptura, I have found two things very interesting. First of all, there is a grossly simplistic view of meaning in language amongst many Roman Catholic apologists. Many of them will be willing to destroy human language in order to argue against sola scriptura, borrowing from men like Jacques Derrida and Stanley Fish to argue that we cannot know which interpretation of scripture is correct. It is amazing to be able to cite deconstructionists making parallel arguments to Roman Catholic apologists.
Second, what I am realizing more and more …

“A Simple Proof That Roman Catholicism Is Illegitimate”
http://bnonn.thinkingmatters.org.nz/a-simple-proof-that-roman-catholicism-is-illegitimate
Keep in mind that this is not merely an academic exercise. It is a proof that Roman Catholicism is not officially instituted by God, directed by the Vicar of Christ, or guided by the Holy Spirit. Further, the victims here are real victims who have suffered at the hands of wicked men. Rome is not a good home.…

30,000 Protestant Denominations
The next time a Roman Catholic gives you an astronomical number of Protestant denominations, ask him or her to name them for you.
RC: Presbyterian, Baptist, Pentecostal, 7th Day, Mormon, JW, Lutheran… and 29,983 others! Simple!
Chris: You missed two out of seven of those; how likely is it that you will get the other 29,983 right?
RC: Quaker, Assembly of God, Church of Nazarene, Evangelical.
Oh come now… whether you call those two groups Christian or not doesn’t make them NOT Christian. Their followers call themselves Christians just as you call yourself a Christian….
However… their addition to the …

Canon and Roman Catholicism
RC: I’m still waiting for James White to explain which Canon of Scripture I’m allowed to use when if I take up sola scriptura.
Chris: Canon is a function of Scripture. Those things which I have written are in the canon of my works. Similarly those things which God has breathed out constitute the canon of Scripture.
RC: Chris… what I meant… am I permitted to use the Scripture comprised of 73 books, or the one comprised of only 66 books? Of course both versions are God breathed, inherent, and authoritative.
Obviously this is all hypothetical as I do not… …

Why We Should Be Reformed Catholic
The role of tradition in a Protestant/Reformed theology is much broader and deeper than I can ever hope to go into here.
On the one hand there are Roman Catholics and other unbelievers who ignorantly mock the notion that Word and Spirit lead us into all truth because of the supposed abundance of disagreements within the Church.
On the other hand there are Roman Catholics and other unbelievers who piously shun the notion that Word and Spirit lead us to make such unflinchingly dogmatic affirmations of particular doctrines within the Church.
So it is a lose-lose situation for Roman Catholics …
