1 | Sola Scriptura-A False teaching | 2 Tim 3:16 | Emmaus | 94434 | ||
gbennett, A creed is nothing more than saying what you believe. Do you perceive being asked what you believe as a prelude to an attack? It is good to know where someone is coming from. Is that too much to ask? I am often a lone voice for the positions I take on this forum. That does not mean I want to attack you or anyone else, nor does everyone else attack me. But most of us here at least are open and clear about what perspective we are are coming from and where we stand in our major beliefs and what we hold as sources of authority. And most if not all here hold Scripture to authoritative and most, myself being an exception, hold it to be the sole authority. Most people are proud or at least willing to state what they believe is the truth and why. How about you? Emmaus |

2 | Sola Scriptura-A False teaching | 2 Tim 3:16 | gbennett76 | 94460 | ||
My Creed Part 7-Scripture and Tradition Scripture Simply stated, the Protestant doctrine of sola scriptura ("Scripture alone") teaches that every teaching in Christian theology (everything pertaining to "faith and practice") must be able to be derived from Scripture alone.An essential part of this doctrine, as it has been historically articulated by Protestants, is that theology must be done without allowing Tradition or a Magisterium (teaching authority) any binding authority. If Tradition or a Magisterium could bind the conscience of the believer as to what he was to believe then the believer would not be looking to Scripture alone as his authority. Thus, according to sola scriptura, any role Tradition, a Magisterium, Bible commentaries, or anything else may play in theology is simply to suggest interpretations and evidence to the believer as he makes his decision. Each individual Christian is thus put in the position of being his own theologian. Not only is the average Christian totally disinclined to fulfill the role of theologian, but if they try to do so, and if they arrive at conclusions different than those of the church they belong to-an easy task considering the number of different theological issues-then they will quickly discover that their right to private judgment amounts to a right to shut up or leave the congregation. Protestant pastors have long realized (in fact, Luther and Calvin realized it) that, although they must preach the doctrine of private judgment to ensure their own right to preach, they must prohibit the exercise of this right in practice for others, lest the group be torn apart by strife and finally break up. It is the failure of the prohibition of the right of private judgment that has resulted in the over 20,000 Christian Protestant denominations listed in the Oxford University Press's World Christian Encyclopedia. Apostolic Tradition I believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.I believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.I believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and I believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God through his prophets and apostles. |
