Whereas the Bereans accepted the Teaching of the Apostles

Catholicguy: 

who said Jesus lied? or his word lied? I am saying the bereans, who are always pointed to as evidence for the false doctrine of sola scriptura, where is no way sola scriptura. they needed paul and the church to guide them. they accepted the preaching of Paul as opposed to those jews in thessonia who clung only to their intepretation of scripture and refused to agree with paul and the church.

Calvin: 

Beareans checked teachings against scripture.

So did the Thessalonicans.

The Catholic Church behaves precisely as did the Bereans. Catholics are the modern Bereans. We accept Tradition and Scripture according to the Teaching of the Church.

Sincerely,

De Maria

Luther: 

Yep according to the teachings of the church....Just not Jesus Christ.

According to the Teachings of Jesus Christ through His Church.  

Acts 17

King James Version (KJV)
1 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:
² And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,
³ Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ.
⁴ And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.
⁵ But the Jews which believed not, moved with envy, took unto them certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people.
⁶ And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also;
⁷ Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.
⁸ And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things.
⁹ And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the other, they let them go.
¹⁰ And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
¹¹ These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

Note that the Apostles brought the Teaching of Jesus Christ through the Church, which they represent.  They also reasoned with the Thessalonicans, out of the Scriptures.  Just as they did thigh the Bereans.  But the Thessalonican Jews rejected the Teaching of the Apostles.  Not the Scriptures.

Whereas the Bereans accepted the Teaching of the Apostles, that is to say, the Teaching of the Church AND the Scriptures.

Sincerely,

De Maria
