Retorsion: tradition is as silent as Scripture on when Antichrist comes
Click or tap any sentence to jump there. The side buttons skip a paragraph.
Ask them: can the whole apostolic doctrine be had from Scripture and tradition together?They will say yes.
Then teach from tradition the Antichrist timetable Paul allegedly gave.
Tradition is as mute as Scripture here.
If that silence does not wreck their tradition-rule, it does not wreck sola Scriptura either.
Latin
XIX. Sed, quod maxime notandum est, rogo Pontificios annon ex Scriptura & traditione simul integra Apostoli doctrina haberi possit? Proculdubio istud non negabunt. Doceant ergo nos ex traditione quando dixit Apostolus Thessalonicensibus venturum esse Antichristum. Certe hic non minus tacet traditio, quam Scriptura sacra. Itaque, si quis est hac in re defectus, ejus non minus traditio, quam Scriptura sacra incusari potest. Si vero hoc non obstat quominus tota Apostoli doctrina possit haberi ex traditione, non obstabit etiam quo minus possit haberi ex Scriptura.
