Protestant Apologist Bill Grover: Paul's Oral Inspired Teachings/Traditions as En Par with the Authority and Inspiration of Inscripturated Revelation

 


Criterion for Determining Theological Mistakes

 

Every response I’ve made to the ten reasons advanced by this good Mormon woman contains an allusion to the Bible. Why? It is because the Bible is to be the standard by which we judge religious teaching:

 

All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God might be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16, 17 my emphasis)

 

And, one needs to remember that Paul added his teachings to that standard in 2 Timothy 1:13, (“Hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me”) . . . ‎(Bill Grover, And, Man Made God in His Own Image: The Misbegotten Mormon Doctrine of Deity [Rapid City, S.Dak.: New Harbor House, 2021], 6-7, emphasis added)
