Bible Note: I'm familiar with the term regulative principal when it is applied to worship. Where it is felt that God has supplied all the things needed for His worship in scripture thus anything not listed is prohibited. The opposite being the normative principal of worship where any that isn’t directly prohibited by scripture is allowed if it is agreeable with members of the church. I think when the regulative principal is applied not only to worship but also to church government then the correct term is Sola Scriptura. Although I do view the regulative principal as equally egregious. And yes you are right in your understanding that I would not endorse a doctrine of angels from outside of scripture as being absolutely trustworthy. My biggest objection of the concept of Sola Scriptura is that its inception was not the result of prayer, or of a desire to draw closer to God or even to become more Christ like. It was conceived as a way to break the hold of Rome on the church (people). What I believe Sola Scriptura has accomplished is the division of the church into thousands of denominations each sure they have the correct and only true interpretation of various aspects of theology. But the biggest tragedy of Sola Scriptura is that in many cases we have lost the early church fathers perspective on many of the questions we now toil over theologically. |
