bibleprotector said:Your side is all about how information, wording, readings, understanding, etc. has been lost over time, and all the various methods and safeguards you need to employ to try to recover or get what God meant in the Scriptures. That's a very weak view.
The Reformation was all about recovering what God meant in the Scriptures....
One striking example of this in practice has been the idea that the recent decades new interpretation of Revelation 3:15 must now trump pre-existing interpretations.
The Reformation is all about rejecting interpretative traditions that have existed for over a millinea and letting the Bible speak for itself WITHOUT support from previous traditions/interpretations, no matter how popular.
Modernism makes everything have unmeaning, except the great Meaning of modernism.
Ummm.... was this statement intended to be ironic because the meaning is lost.
