Subject: Please HelpUnderstanding Sola Scriptura? |
Bible Note: Dear lookinforacity, Thank you for understanding that my question was Biblicaly based! It was about a Biblical concept and therefore Biblicaly based... The forum says this; Postings must be Biblically based and not opposing the Bible's sole authority (sola Scriptura), Christianity, or the deity of Jesus Christ. Whenever possible, postings should include supporting Bible references. It says "whenever possible, posting should include supporting Bible references". I tried for all three things I posted last night to use the pick a book of the Bible feature, but the scripture did not appear in any of my posts evern though the page flipped like it should and originaly showed the book I had in mind. So, I guess there are no tenets, by which I mean the Biblical and third dictionary definition as being doctrines, that could be said to comprise Sola Scriptura... You have included a principle here as "to be the only infallible source and rule of faith, and asserts the right of private interpretation of the same, in distinction from the Roman Catholic view, etc.". I get the infallible source and rule fo faith part, but not the private interpretation part, I thought we weren't suppossed to be doing that? All in all though I think you give a thorough explaination of what Sola Scriptura is not; the traditions of men as inculcating the church of Rome. I had a nother question that was hitting on a similar concept, that somehow the traditions of men seem to be held up in some Baptists churches as well crafted traditions of men as being as important as the Sola Scriptura! God's Day To You, Thanks Jim, Tamara |
