    Still did not answer the question : WHERE IN THE BIBLE that say 'the bible is THE ONLY authoritative source of revelation'. What you gave me basically was just INTERPRETATION (man's interpretation of the bible, not the bible itself). If one is allowed to interpret the bible by himself to suit his teaching, then, everyone should be allowed to do the same. That means you shouldn't have a problem with other's interpretation. That means, every teaching is a true teaching. That means everybody is right. But here is the problem : two teaching that contradict to each other can not be BOTH true (logic of non-contradiction). One must be wrong, the other must be true! That being saaaiiiiidd..... pay attention to this....... -- There has to be an ABSOLUTE TRUTH and ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY.

    The teaching 'Scriptures interpret Scriptures' is a man made teaching, it is not in the bible. This teaching exist because someone interpreted the bible. The same apply to the teaching "Everything has to be written in the bible(sola scriptura)"

    If I am God, I wouldn't require human to worship me on saturday. Just so you know saturday is from pagan saturnalia. The saturn God. Just becareful of false teaching. The wolves dress as a sheep nowadays. This is the end of days. God did not require human to worship Him like a servant to a master. Rather He wants us to be His bride. You are following those Pharisees and Sadducees. The calendar was created by the roman. It has been changed a couple times. The saturday is no longer the the seventh day. And just so you know the REAL seventh day could be monday, sunday, or anyday. You wanna worship on saturday? fine by me. But if you say saturday is the seventh day (God's seventh day) , that was just wrong.

    The teaching of "Sola Scriptura" is manmade since it is not in the bible. Why did you follow the this teaching?

    Hi Skip, Martin Luther is the reason why we are having conversation right now. Maybe Martin Luther was guided by another spirit, when he started his church. Think about Skip, because of that one man, we now have so many "THEY , THE AUTHORITIES". Martin Luther was here to confuse us. Because of martin luther, everyone wants to be the pope. Am I right , Skip?

    The teaching that the bible is THE ONLY authoritative source of revelation is not from the bible. I cannot find the word sola scriptura written in the bible.

    First, please show me in the bible the verse that said "everything has to be from bible" Second, the UCG's policy "Scripture interprets Scripture" is the teaching that is not in the bible.

    But which verse in the bible that said "everything has to be from bible"...?

    The false teaching of many christian denomination is based on one thing : "Everything has to be from the bible". This is known as 'sola scriptura'. Why is this a false teaching ? because we could not find the word sola scriptura in the bible. One person interpreted the bible verse, use his own imagination, and formulated this false teaching. And claimed this teaching is "guided" by God. This man is Martin Luther. I mean, if one is allowed to do such a thing (interpret the verse in bible by oneself), then everyone must be allowed too. That's exactly what has happened. Now we've got thousands of denomination, some of them teaching contradicted each other, but each claimed they are the right one. I mean... come on.. without being realized... they have became the one they hated the most: the catholic church.

    The weekday cycle was interrupted during the use of romulus calendar. The Roman lost 62 days by using the romulus calendar.
    So if the 31 dec in romulus calendar was the third day of the week, then the first day of the week of the next year calendar could be the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, or seventh nobody knew, since nobody was counting. They only knew that the first day of the year, which also the first day of the week, is the new moon before the spring equinox.
    With that being said, your gregorian sabbath is no longer "real sabbath". Or, the "real sabbath" could be any day in the week on gregorian calendar system. I am Ok if you rest on saturday and worship God on saturday. But I don't agree if you say gregorian saturday is sabbath.

    I know. At first it's difficult for me to grasp the idea.
    The Roman had Romulus Calendar. It beginning in March and ending in December. they have 8 days a week instead of seven. They lost 62 days every year. During those 62 days, they didn't bother to count the day. They didn't care about first day of the week nor the seventh day.
    Gregorian comes from julian, julian comes from numa pompilus and romanus calendar. Those are not hebrew calendar.
    Bottom line is, the sabbath in Gregorian calendar might not be the real sabbath day (the original seventh day counted from since God created the universe). You don't have to rest on saturday , the day that belongs to gregorian-julian-romulus calendar, in order to praise the lord. Instead, you can rest on any day during the week and treat it as a seventh day. For example, You can work for six days from friday to wednesday, and take thursday as sabbath day.. Because everything is about term and definition: Year, month, week, day, hour, minute, second. Is it true that one minute = 60 second? If a month is 30 days, why february gets 28 days but sometimes it gets 29?

    Julian calendar : oct 4 = thru, oct 5 = friday, oct 6 = sat, oct 9 =sun, oct 10 = mon, oct 11 = tue, oct 12 = wed, oct 13 = thru, oct 14 = friday, oct 15 = saturday.

    Altered version of Julian Calendar (we call it Gregorian calendar):
    Oct 4= thursday , oct 5 (friday Julian) = oct 15 = SATURDAY (which was the seventh day in the old Julian calendar), .... and then... oct 6 (Saturday/the seventh day on Julian calendar) = oct 16 = SUNDAY (which was the first day in the old Julian Calendar).

    Conclusion: According Julian Calendar, the seventh day is no longer the the seventh day. Instead, the seventh day is now the first day, which is SUNDAY.

    Imagine you are using Julian Calendar now. Then the saturday is not the seventh day. The SUNDAY is the seventh day.

    Now you can do the same to the Jewish calendar. Try to compare Julian calendar to the jewish calendar. They are not the same seventh day. Both has different way in calculating days.
