Dear 'gem' :: "Sola scriptura," a Latin term meaning "by Scripture alone," was a fundamental tenet of the Reformation teaching that the whole counsel of God is set down in Scripture. Please see, for example, 2 Tim. 3:16,17; 1 Cor. 4:6; Acts 17:11; Isa. 8:20; Hebrews 1:1,2; Rev. 22:18,19; Jude 1:3. ....... "Sola scriptura" is the assertion that the Bible, the word of God -- and only the Bible -- is sufficient of itself to be the sole and final authority of orthodox Christian doctrine. It follows, therefore, that all that God chose to reveal of Heaven and Hell is contained within the pages of Scripture -- and in no other place on earth, in no other book, in no other so-called private revelation by anyone else but the inspired writers of Scripture alone. ...... This Study Bible Forum subscribes to sola scriptura (see "About the Forum" listed under "Resources"). ...... Books of the feather of Mary Baxter's (e.g., "Divine Revelation of Heaven," "Divine Revelation of Hell," "Divine Revelation of Angels," etc.), which she claims to be products of her own private divine revelation, are patently in denial of the sufficiency of the Bible as God's complete revelation of Himself to man. Consequently any serious consideration of books of this stripe and caliber, save to point out their egregious errors, is vigorously discouraged by SBF and their content denounced by this author as being antipathetic to sound doctrine. --Hank | ||||||

Hey there, Hank.I have a question that I think goes with your reply. Luke 16:19-31 tells of the rich man and Lazarus. Now my question is, going by what you said, the bible being where the Lord revealed all He chose to reveal about heaven and hell(which I believe), what about the other people who say they have died and were allowed to visit hell, then return to tell the world that hell does exist? According to this scripture,Luke 16:19-31, NO-ONE would be allowed to have that kind of experience. I have heard people say " The Lord can do what He wants to do." Yes, the Lord can, but He won't go against His word. Am I right, or am I in the wrong ballpark? God bless, michael | ||||||

Dear Michael :: Reports of NDE's have been commonplace since I was a pup! But that doesn't make them any more valid than reported sightings of UFO's or the Loch Ness monster, or claims of private divine revelation or the seed-faith charlatans. ..... Speaking to your question, Michael, we who believe in the absolute sovereignty of God (as Scripture teaches) hold that He is sovereign indeed of all His creation and can do as He pleases, but that He is also a holy and righteous God and does not go against His word. "And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber (2 Peter 1:19-2:3). ..... Those are strong words, tough words, solemn words of warning from the apostle writing under inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Man can ignore them, scoff at them, twist them and refuse to believe them; but he does so at his peril. Thanks for the response, Michael, and for your keen interest in this vital topic. --Hank | ||||||
