Of course, most people have the maturity to realize that it doesn't and that they(themselves) are not always right, but still.


You mean trying to argue that the Bible says something that the Church inferred from certain passage kind to match their preconceived agenda?

The bible is not the sole foundation of faith. To prioritize scripture over tradition is a grave error.

Because you have shown no reason why your gay stuff is natural

You mean, beside pointing to instances where it occurs in other animals, but I am not arguing that it is natural (it is, it has occurred in both human, primates, and other, more distantly related species, and is well documented, there is even an ignobel prize awarded, some years back, to the first recorded instance of homosexual necrophilia amongst mallard ducks), but that it is permissible within the Bible, and even if it is unnatural, there is no way to get from that descriptive statement to a modal one, such as 'you shouldn't be gay'.

It is a grave error to accept human tradition in the face of the Word of God, when these tradition, supposedly from the time of the Apostles, can only be confirmed circularly, that is that we have always been doing it, it is even in documents are far back as several centuries after the death of Christ, and therefore tradition is justified. I will not argue this point, only that we should argue sola scriptura simply because the scriptures is the only common thing amongst all of Christendom.

Yet, the "Apostolic" Churches often practices things that are not found in the early Church

It depends what you mean by "early". All the major practices of the present-day Apostolic Churches were already established by the year 200 at the latest. And that is also around the time that the Bible acquired its current form (although some books, like the Book of Revelation, remained controversial and were excluded from certain editions of the Bible well into the 4th century).

So, given that the major traditional practices of the Apostolic Churches are about as old as the current form of the Bible (and some are significantly older), why exactly do you believe that these traditions need to be "justified" by reference to the Bible?

In reality, the opposite often happened - some texts were accepted or rejected for inclusion in the Bible based on whether they agreed with established practice or not.

Nationes Pii Redivivi wrote:like excluding female priests, when it is clear, from Paul's many epistle, that women are often found spreading the word of God and serving as ministers and leaders.

Not all people who spread the word of God and serve as leaders are priests.

Lay people spread the word of God and serve as leaders all the time.

You're playing a game of ring around the rosy and all your arguments are falling down. How is Same-sex marriage any less natural than Different-Sex marriage without using the words 'disorderliness' and 'abnormality'?

In the context of natural law, that's not what natural means. Natural in the context of natural law means a right that is simply right without need of justification.
In fairness, most people who argue natural law do a piss poor job of explaining that.
