Bible Note: First I don't suggest that only elite groups can understand scripture! What I find as interesting is the fact some are criticized for their doctrine and others are exempt when in fact both were derived by the same means. I don't abjure any Sola Scriptura doctrine as such. What I find almost comical is how it is used to defend some doctrines and to attack others when in fact all claim they were developed using the methodology of Sola Scriptura but reached differing conclusions. Most major denominations in the US hold to doctrine that they derived from scripture that differ from other denominations that also claim to derive their doctrine from scripture. Obviously there is scripture that is confusing even to the experts (the "elite"). Rather than sitting down and resolving those differences each goes happily on their way claiming they are right and the rest of Christdom is wrong. And their justification for doing this is "their" use of Sola Scriptura. To me that is totally messed up thinking. Not the doctrine but how it is used to say we are right and all of you are wrong. Each that steps up to the soap box claims Sola Scriptura yet each profess a doctrine the others disagree with. |
