Bible Question:
I don't see any engagement with Scripture in the above passage. If you read my profile you'll see I'm coming from the Via Media viewpoint. The issue is whether Scripture makes the claim of Sola Scriptura for itself or whether it teaches Scripture and Tradition (we can dismiss the views the early Church but I'm sure you know the dogma of Bible ALone was not the view of the Church whilst it was thrashing out the great Christological doctrines which were expounded at Nicea and later). Let's chew over the Scripture verses. Answer me this please. If the 27 books of the NT aren't to be found in Scripture, is not the very list itself a Christian tradition. |
Bible Answer: Dear Robin, Sola Scriptura is a fundamental presupposition to the Study Bible Forum -- predication of which is a condition of participation. It is, indeed, fundamental to Christian thought, being fully supported in the kyrigma. It is not a concept invented during the Reformation. Rather it was rediscovered along with the other solas. It is a topic much discussed. Please avail yourself of the Forum Search feature. In Him, Doc |
