3) What is obscure must be interpreted by the light of what is plain. Peripheral ambiguities must be interpreted in harmony with fundamental certainties. No interpretation of any text, therefore, is right which does not agree with the principles of religion, the Apostles Creed, the Lord's prayer, and the Ten Commandments.
Apostle creed like the Lord's prayer or Rosay are oral traditions. They could agree with ones understanding of scripture. But are never a source of faith. . the power of God's labor of love . . . not of dying mankind.
Like Apostolic succession or apostolical time period. . destroying the intended meaning of sent messenger (apostle) or prophet therefore violating the law (Deuteronomy 4:2) not to add or subtract from sola scriptura,
How to define the word apostle. Some make the apostles a venerable source of
faith or
power of
Christ. limiting to the new testament leaving out the Old Testament apostles beginning with Abel the prophet and first martyr. . .using Abel .teaching a man must be born again.
As born-again believers like any religion we guard that which defends us (as
it is
written sola scriptura) every religion has an outward written law or one given with symbols used as idol images .
Catholic have their CCC as their own personal Bible called Devine sacred traditions of dying mankind their written defense
Jehovah witness their own book of law coming from false prophecies of their founder.
.
Mormons the same venerate the beatiful feet of the sent messenger's pony express ,western union, etc. they call discrete Elders numbering them
Every religion except Christianity must follow after the dying things of this world, the Pagan foundation. . Out of sight out of mined God calls fools
Good example of following the leader like a Pope dying mankind Nicodemus some fell from grace doing the first works empowered by the father to

Revalation 2:2-3I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which
say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:;And hast borne, and hast patience, and for
my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left
thy first love.;
(Believe God and follow) Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the
first works; (Believe God and follow)or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. But this thou hast, t
hat thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.;He that hath an
ear, let
him hear what the
Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the
midst of the paradise of God.
The word apostle like a few other Greek words should have been given the English understanding. It would have saved much grief as in "who is the greatest"? Dying mankind seen or eternal God not seen?
Satan the author of confusion or wonderment would have dying mankind wonder, wonder, wonder with no end Limbo in sight.
