one would be “Lost Christianities” and the other one is “Misquoting Jesus.”

It would be tempting to say that Evangelical Christians are homogeneous in their claims to “Sola Scriptura” but matters are not quite as simple when we take into consideration the textual-critical processes of canon-building.

Sola Scriptura has its roots in a particular time and history. It is not a contextless theology. It is theology born out of necessity. And once other studies and finds start pouring in, I think it necessary to review the theology, also for our guidance and edification.

I'm sorry to disappoint you but it is my conviction not to publish the response in question for the foremost reason that it is not edifying in any way. My husband and I are here to teach Christ, not to engage in useless debates.

As for your claim: “You did not tell the whole story, it was your husband who posted an aggressive email in the Facebook of Ms. N and questioned her faith.” – You might want to check out the thread in question and examine OBJECTIVELY if there was any point in that thread where Warren questioned Claire's faith.

But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law, for they are unprofitable and worthless.
As for a person who stirs up division, after warning him once and then twice, have nothing more to do with him, knowing that such a person is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned. (Titus 3:9-11)

Remind them of these things, and charge them before God not to quarrel about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers. (2 Tim 2:14)

Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels. (2 Tim 2:23)

We have already shown you the biblical basis for all of our claims, be it in regards to praying to angels or on sola scriptura, you have rejected us therefore it is time for us to shake the dust off our feet and move on (Matt. 10:14).

I would like to inform you that I am now blocking you from making anymore comments on our website so please don't be surprised if any of your following comments don't get published.

(John 8:47) “Whoever is of God hears the words of God. The reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God.”

“But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth.” 2 Timothy 3:1-7

Please do not preempt the intelligence of your blog reader. I posted my request for justice in your reporting. Christian charity requires you to be fair by putting the rebuttal of the priest.

You did not tell the whole story, it was your husband who posted an aggressive email in the Facebook of Ms. N and questioned her faith. The priest just defended Ms. N on her posting on Angels. You then sent this private email to the priest on Sola Scriptura. I know the response but you have the moral obligation to post the reply.

Indeed, the greatest scandal in Christianity is the division of Christians (especially following the reformation when Christianity splintered into many denominational and sectarian groups) which is why it very important to know the history of your faith all the way from the foundation of apostles (Eph 2:19-20) and throughout the centuries up to the present time.

Let us make the prayer of Jesus ours, that all may be one (John 17).

I truly admire your zeal but please be more discerning when you are dealing with other Christian groups especially the Catholic Church.

If you have other questions, we are willing to sit down with you and your husband for a friendly dialogue.

Sincerely,
Henry Siy

PS. Praying for you and your husband.

Mr. Siy,

I have nothing personal against this priest, but I have to be honest with you, going back to this email and just glancing at the way he belittled and labeled me or my faith as satanic, heretic and an apostasy is extremely traumatic.

This priest should learn more from the Bible, especially from the Pauline epistles:

“2Ti 2:24 And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, “

“1Ti 3:2 Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.” (stress: not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome)

“1Ti 3:7 Moreover, he must be well thought of by outsiders, so that he may not fall into disgrace, into a snare of the devil. ” (with the way he talked to me, an outsider, he damaged his reputation severely)

Thank you for your time. I sent you a copy of the material via private email. I would rather not publish his responses here on my blog, it will not accomplish anything and instead expose his heart even more. Besides all that, his points do not merit a space on this website, they are merely gibberish and vain attempts to show me that sola scriptura is unbiblical. I do not know why you have requested for a copy of the material since you can just as easily have the priest furnish you with one but whatever that is, I hope and pray that it will be for the betterment of all.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Hazel Chua

In such cases, I'd ask the other person to show me where in the Bible it says to pray to saints, Mary, the doctrine of purgatory, or even venerate relics. They usually have one or two, or even quote the example of how Solomon gave reverence to his mother, but those are way-off eisegesis, LOL!

Give him the Gospel, then go your way. It's a waste of time to debate with those who come not with a heart to learn, but to pick a fight.
