The Origin of the Western Five

[gbausc]

I said "we", not the first century believers. The words they preached were written for us to know and keep.
I repeat:

We would know nothing about salvation or The Holy Spirit without the Scriptures. We are saved by believing the Gospel message as written in the New Testament. We would know nothing about Yeshua without the scriptures.

You are sounding rather silly right now, Paul.

The gospel was not preserved orally. It was written for all time and eternity. The doctrine of the church was written; the life and work of Yeshua; the doctrine of The Holy Spirit was written by The Holy Spirit; "All scripture of The Spirit was written for doctrine, reproof, correction, instruction in righteousness."

Do you deny that?
