A few weeks ago we posted a quote where it seemed like Basil the great was blasting Sola Scriptura preemptively by 1000 years or so. I thought to be balanced I would post this quote from his fellow Cappadocian: Gregory of Nyssa.
“If custom is to avail for proof of soundness, we too, surely, may advance our prevailing custom; and if they reject this, we are surely not bound to follow theirs. Let the inspired Scripture, then, be our umpire, and the vote of truth will surely be given to those whose dogmas are found to agree with the Divine words.”
Gregory of Nyssa (c. 335-c.394), On the Holy Trinity
What do you all think of this one?
thanks to Mark for pointing this out
