Christians, since the words?

Question

bible, Incarnation, Trinity and Sola Scripture do not appear in the Bible, no one should be allowed to believe in them, correct?

Exactly - the Bible itself says that it does not contain everything. That's my point.

Answer 1

plain and simple yet our seperated brothers and sisters in christ have a tendancy to pick and choose, whilst well intentioned they neglect church history, salvation history, regular history and because of this are not part of the only church jesus ever established with consisitent doctrine from its conception, the one true holy catholic and apostolic curch.

"ignorance of scripture is ignorance of christ"(st. jerome)

"to be deep into history is to cease to be protestant"(cardinal newman")

if the bible is all we need then sola scriptura and the others mentioned make no sense, please people really consider this, which came first the bible or teh church, with this premise do the research and you will find the answer, with further study you find that this church is the roman catholic church, therefore the bible being a catholic book, who would you think can interpret it properly?

Answer 2

The word "bible" comes from the Greek "à biblía tà hagía" meaning "the holy books." Since "holy books" of many religions have been precious for more centuries than we can remember, there is no reason not to respect such items. It is not the Bible, per se, that Christians believe in, but rather the contents therein which are holy text written by holy men (supposedly).

The concept of the trinity is far older than Christianity, as most pagan religions believe in a tri-faced goddess (or trinity), that is virgin, mother and crone. The word 'trinity' simply comes from the Latin word meaning 'trio.' Although it is not referenced by name in the Bible, presumably the title 'Trinity' was given to the idea of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit being one entity because saying that entire phrase all the time would be awfully time-consuming. ;)

Although the word 'incarnation' does not appear in the Bible, the phrases which reference its definition do. Incarnation means "a living being embodying a deity or spirit" or "assumption of human form or nature." Since, through Christ, God assumed human form, that is, literally, an incarnation.

Sola scriptura is a bit harder to argue, and I'll leave that to the more experience debaters. :)

Answer 3

The words zip, car, telephone and internet do not occur either. Only idiots stick to individual words in the Bible without grasping the big concepts at back of them. To then name such concepts with a title shows a bit of thinking has been taking place.

But just to prevent anyone wandering down the wrong track here, let me point out that it's belief in a person that the Bible is all about - the person of God as revealed in the person of Christ and the person of the Holy Spirit - combined.

Answer 4

The Bible itself says that it does not contain everything. Also, God wrote the bible for people with some degree of common sense.

Answer 5

the trinity is metioned many times, not exactly the word trinity but a mention of it, and what the heck is sola scripture? and what do you mean by incarnation?

Answer 6

As long as words not found in the Bible do not detract from the Bible, it is O.K. to use them. To use any teaching or words to misguide people from God is terrible. Simple.

Answer 7

People are allowed to believe whatever their minds allow then too.

Answer 8

of course they shouldn't!
