Question for Apostolics
To clarify, this is not a debate question. I often do debate things like Sola Scriptura vs appealing to the historical church and traditions and this question is regarding that topic.
We have Coptics, Eastern Orthodox, Arminians, Roman Catholics etc…. Each appeal to scripture AND their church tradition as primary authorities. One can ask “what establishes the authority of the church” and the answer is Jesus. I ask “show me” and they appeal to scripture. So if scripture establishes the authority of the church, but it is not the sole infallible authority. How do we determine which apostolic faith/church tradition is the one true church without becoming history majors and what authority outside of our own determination do we use? This question is even harder since the apostolic faiths are in schism and refuse to acknowledge the others as the one true church. What is the infallible authority we can appeal to that decides the correct church? Thanks.
