What Was the Formal Issue of the Protestant Reformation?

Watch as R.C. Sproul identifies the formal principle of the Protestant Reformation, the question of whether Scripture or tradition has final authority over the Christian.

Happy Reformation Day

One Standard - Scripture ALONE
One way back - God's Grace ALONE
One Saviour - Christ ALONE
One instrunment - Faith ALONE
One Purpose - Glory to God ALONE

[TerryC]

Dr. Sproul was a most compelling teacher indeed. Thanks to recordings of his efforts, he will continue to be used to bless others.

We ought to pray that more papists will come to recognition that works do not save, that the pope has no authority over the church, and that tradition and intrinsic faith in clergy do not over rule the word of God and faith in Christ.

Happy Reformation Day saints! Thank you Martin Luther for your conviction and bravery in calling out the error of the Roman Catholic church. Grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone! 🙏😊🙏

Yes and Amen. Happy Reformation Day, and life, as a Christ alone Believer. ✝️📖✝️🐑💝🔬✍️👣🙌🏻

Luther insisted that we are not forgiven because of anything we do – including the buying of Indulgences or doing enough good work. Instead, we are forgiven because of who God is. We are loved and forgiven because God is full of grace and mercy. Reformation Sunday is a reminder that this is the bedrock of our faith – the grace and mercy given to us in Jesus Christ. In Christ alone your indulgences and good works matter not a jot.

"if I delay, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, a pillar and buttress of the truth" 1 Timothy 3:15

“Luther’s doctrine”…

Let that sink in. Very telling.

Matthew 16:18-19
 
"And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in Heaven.”

God Himself is singing because His heart is full of joy over your salvation. ✝️🌟

Yes, the final authority is the Church which works in service to Sacred Scripture. The Church can not make up something which is contrary to Sacred Scripture, but does have the final authority when it comes to the interpretation of Sacred Scripture.

I didn't get any of that, I was too focused on his hair:)

[wretchlikeme]

Amen. Justification by faith alone in Christ the person

[HRGM]

And the doctrine of Indulgences which were a piece of paper from the Catholic Church that was supposed to lessen a person's time in purgatory and help them get to heaven faster. Luther disagreed with this, saying that buying indulgences had no impact on whether or not people would go to heaven. This was part of the 95 thesis

Amen and Amen, the just shall live by faith in Jesus Christ alone.

James 2:14-26 Faith without works is Dead.
