RE: Demystifying The Bible Series (Pt 2) - HISTORY
The vernacular Bible doesn't get you anywhere if you throw out all the apostolic tradition that comes with it. The reformation was a baby+bathwater situation. There's a lot missing now from mainstream protestant theology.
There is so much missing and it is now time for people to go back to the source of our faith: THE BIBLE itself and pray to God for understanding and revelation.
The Bible is not the source. The Eucharist is the source and summit of the faith. Branches wither and die when they cut themselves off from the Eucharist. It's been 5+ centuries now for some of those branches, and they are in desperate need of the truth. There is a reason Islam is conquering Europe today. Too many people have believed for too long that everyone can discern the truth for himself, abandoning all tradition. I'm serious - the Bible is NOT the source of the faith. Apostolic Tradition (which the Bible is a part of) has much more to offer than just the Bible.
What is the Apostolic Tradition? It is the tradition of men that has made the WORD of God of non-effect (Matthew 15:6). The basis of our faith is not the Eucharist, but rather the UNADULTERATED WORD of GOD. Romans 10: 17 says "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the WORD of God". The Eucharist or Apostolic Tradition has its root in the WORD of God. We are quick to hallow the traditions but forget the source of that tradition, the WORD. Matthew 15:6 does not only apply to the worshipers in the days of Jesus alone, but also to this generation in the End Time Church. However, let me be quick to add that we are not attacking any church or denomination. I believe strongly in the Eucharist, but i value the WORDS of GOD most.
