Bible Note: EdB, I'm somewhat surprised at what you are saying. Perhaps we mean different things when we say the term "sola scriptura." Might I ask what it is exactly that you would suggest that the term means which is not scriptural? It would be a shame for a debate to happen if in reality I also would join you in rejecting what YOU mean by the term and at the same time you would affirm what I mean by the term. I would say: 1. Scripture is the very word of God. 2 Timothy 3:16 2. As such it is inerrant in the original. 3. It holds complete authority over our lives. 4. It is sufficient for all things needful for the saint for life and godliness. (2 Peter 1:3, 2 Tim 3:16 again). 5. It is the boundary of our understanding which we are not to go beyond in speculating. Therefore anything granted to us by wonderful saints later must be merely a shedding of light on the word of God so that we understand it more clearly, because going beyond it is forbidden. 1 Cor 4:6 Now perhaps with discussion I would affirm more points but those are the ones which come to mind immediately. What say you? What does "sola scriptura" affirm and which part of it is unscriptural? In Christ, Beja |
