It stands to reason that if you put your faith into the scriptures you would also put your faith into the tradition that compiled it. <br /><br />The blatant dualism of this article struck me! That all desires of the flesh are evil is ridiculous! Where we not created for greatness in his image. Though sin has damaged this relationship it by no means implies we are no longer capable of desiring what God desires. <br /><br />Also it is important to understand that the methods Ignatius is talking about discerning right from wrong. But the better of two goods. Is it gods will that I start this business or continue with my steady job. Should I get married or join the seminary. Go for my masters right away or work for a while. These are all examples of things I have discerned myself or that have been discerned by people in my circle of friends. We would not look to our feelings to determine morality.<br /><br />This type of discernment should not be confused with moral compassing.

You can find it here-<br /><br />“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16)<br /><br />You can question my logic all day long, but the question to you is, do you believe the above verse is all we need, or not?Elizabeth Pratahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04341086233512507156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-84699411492344330952014-06-05T16:39:39.058-04:002014-06-05T16:39:39.058-04:00The Bible was compiled and canonized roughly 1,600...The Bible was compiled and canonized roughly 1,600 years ago, give or take. Sola Scriptura, a teaching that incidentally cannot be found in the Bible, is roughly 500 years old. The math makes me question the logic of your whole blog post! Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
