Jaged, I think your link is bunk. the only link on this topic that counts is the bible. why do you continue to try and bring it into an "internet link" type of argument.
If you really want to "pwn" me, then name a christian religion who does not believe a person will go to hell if he does not get saved by christ. I am in no way an expert on religous branches, but I was a christian at one time. I have never heard of a christian religion that didn't believe a person would go to hell if they did not believe jesus was the son of God. Prove me wrong, please.
I will do so. In the mean time your OP simply referred to "Christianity, is it..." so I don't know why now you state that the only "topic that counts is the bible." In case your are not familiar with Holy Tradition:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacred_Tradition"The term refers to belief that these churches hold, that the "deposit of faith" (Latin: depositum fidei) was communicated by Jesus Christ to his first followers, and has been passed down (Latin tradere, to hand over or hand down) through succeeding generations of those followers (apostolic succession), represented by the church. The church as a community, therefore, was the initial receiver, and has remained the guardian and codifier, of Sacred Tradition.
The term "deposit of faith" refers to the entirety of Jesus Christ's divine revelation, and is passed forward to successive generations in two different forms, Sacred Scripture (the Bible) and Sacred Tradition (apostolic succession).
In the theology of these churches, Sacred Scripture, is the written part of this larger tradition, recording (albeit sometimes through the work of individual authors) the community's experience of God or more specifically of Jesus Christ. Hence the Bible must be interpreted within the context of Sacred Tradition and within the community of the church."
So, for the Orthodox Church, Sola Scriptura doesn't cut it.
I will get you your link and when I do, I hope you will agree that you have been "pwned" but I doubt it.
