Recognize anyone?

@account_blown @hdpayens no scholar. not interested in arguing. seems I read Jesus got on religious leaders for putting their tradition above God's law and making it of no effect. seems I remember Him telling the same folks they were in error cause they didn't know what the scripture meant.

@hdpayens Which we can only verify by the scriptures though right?

Sola Scriptura is not in the Bible. Find it. Chapter and verse. This is a genuine invitation. The foundational Protestant claim is that Scripture alone is the sole, sufficient rule of faith. If true, this doctrine should be clearly taught in Scripture itself. Let's examine the strongest case honestly. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 is the verse most often cited: "All Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work." Read that carefully. Paul says Scripture is "profitable." He does not say "sufficient alone." He does not say "to the exclusion of all other authority." Profitable means genuinely useful, genuinely important. Catholics agree completely. We revere Sacred Scripture. We read it at every Mass. We affirm its divine inspiration without reservation. But "profitable" and "sole sufficient authority" are two very different claims. A medical textbook is profitable for a medical student. That does not mean the student needs no teacher, no clinical training, no supervising physician. Profitable does not mean exclusively sufficient. Now consider what Paul himself says elsewhere. 2 Thessalonians 2:15: "So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter." Word of mouth. Or by letter. Paul explicitly commands the Thessalonians to hold fast to oral tradition alongside his written epistles. Both carry apostolic authority. Both are binding. 1 Timothy 3:15 calls the Church "the pillar and foundation of the truth." Not Scripture. The Church. Paul gives the living, teaching Church a role that Sola Scriptura simply cannot accommodate. And Acts 8:30-31 gives us a vivid illustration. Philip finds the Ethiopian eunuch reading Isaiah and asks, "Do you understand what you are reading?" The eunuch replies, "How can I, unless someone guides me?" Scripture itself shows that Scripture requires an authoritative interpreter. Here is the logical observation that deserves honest consideration. If Sola Scriptura is true, it must be found in Scripture. But it is not there. The doctrine that says "only what Scripture teaches is binding" is itself not taught in Scripture. This is not a taunt. It is a straightforward problem of internal consistency. The principle fails its own test. Historically, Sola Scriptura was first articulated as a formal principle during the Reformation in the 16th century. No Christian writer before that era taught it in the way Protestants understand it today. St. Basil the Great, writing around 375 AD, stated in On the Holy Spirit, Chapter 27: "Of the beliefs and practices whether generally accepted or publicly enjoined which are preserved in the Church, some we possess derived from written teaching; others we have received delivered to us in a mystery by the tradition of the Apostles." Both written and oral. That was the universal Christian position for fifteen centuries. None of this diminishes Scripture's authority. Catholics hold Scripture as the inspired, inerrant Word of God. The question has never been whether Scripture is authoritative. It is whether Scripture is the only authority. And Scripture itself says it is not. To any Protestant reading this with sincere conviction in Sola Scriptura, I ask with genuine respect: how do you account for 2 Thessalonians 2:15 commanding adherence to oral tradition? What is the best case that Paul's words there are compatible with Scripture alone as the sole rule of faith?

@Ralph_MasonJr capitalism. if you can afford it you don't concern yourself with the cost. it takes more cyphering, as Jethro bodine would say, to build. millionaires don't care about a level playing field.

So let me get this right Dodgers pay 130M to other teams annually for revenue sharing + 170M this yr to other teams for luxury tax penalties So Dodgers gifted 300M this yr alone to other teams lol The nerve of these fans to complain about Dodgers and not look in the mirror

@AggieContrl seems to me , these boys aren't outplayed, they're out coached. no downfield plays. no containment be safe. lose. they deserved more. the coaches decisions are the problem. it ain't over yet.

Not posting about Texas A&M until i break the game down tmr.Pitiful performance by everyone. #Gigem

Cam Schlittler, Wicked 101mph Sinker. ⛽️

@PitchingNinja he is an awesome talent. appreciate the announcers stifling their groans when a close 100+ isn't called a strike.

@brianmctaggart Zach Cole is in scoring position when he's at bat. ok. a little much but looking for a silver lining.

The Mariners have scored first all three games of this series.

@TexAgs cmon Aggies. been a fan since high school in 1972. there comes a time when you step up or continue to be wait till next year. don't care about who the coach is. don't care about the whatever star recruits are. you can buy the best available. stop with the excuses and deliver.

Notre Dame's 39-yard field goal attempt is good. The Irish regain the lead. The A&M defense bends, but doesn't break. No. 16 Texas A&M - 31 No. 8 Notre Dame - 34 4Q | 13:59

@OutfieldBot Rangers look like they are headed to Walmart with those sleep pants. just saying......m

@tylercstafford here's a probability for you, I can listen on the local radio broadcast just like I have since they were the colt 45's. oh yeah suspend players for gambling.

@tylercstafford hey ap TV. don't care about your gambler stats. some of us are held baseball fans.

Apple TV does baseball broadcasts better than anyone and it’s not particularly close

@Chandler_Rome proud of the Houston Space Cowboys and their pitchers who looks like my pharmacist at my local HEB. #BUIL4THIS

Brice Matthews' first major-league home run is a three-run shot off Zac Gallen.

@amuse any relation to draymond green? not familiar with the wnba but I have seen the same play and result when he plays.

RACISM? The WNBA is investigating Indiana fans cheering after Angel Reese missed her free throw as an act of ‘racism’. Suddenly it is a hate crime for cheering when a flopper gets poetic justice?

@MarkBerman_ p.s. Apple TV, stuff you probabilities. don't need that b.s. trying to watch a game.

@MarkBerman_ @AppleTV hoping they aren't far from reaching warning track power. wait a minute. a cam Smith sighting. go stros.

According to @AppleTV+ this is Isaac Paredes first interview in English:
