Seventh Sunday in Easter Season
Deacon Robert Banet
Sola Scriptura
Why did you leave the Church, Linus?
All those man-made traditions. The Bible is all you need. It’s the Word of God.
Are you referring to the verse that says all Scripture is inspired and useful for teaching?
Yes, I’m surprised you knew that scripture.
But Linus, it doesn’t say only scripture; it says all.
No matter. I still believe in the Bible.
So do I, but you are inserting the word “only.” You can’t do that.
A minor matter.
How about the letter that St. Paul wrote to Timothy? The first letter?
What does it say?
It says the Church is the “pillar and foundation of the truth.”
What! Where does it say that?
Look at that first letter to Timothy, chapter 3, verse 15.
Let me get my Bible. Let’s see. Oh here it is: “you should know that how to believe in the household of God, which is the Church of the living God, the pillar and the foundation of truth.”
I never saw that before.
The Church is the foundation. There’s no getting around it, Linus.
Well. You’ve given me something to think about.
