Sola Scriptura

[dom]

"Sola scriptura—the principle that God speaks only through the Scriptures"
I'm not sure that's accurate. It's the belief that scriptures have a higher authority than the church and traditions.
Many (most?) Protestants who believe in Sola Scriptura also believe that God still speaks through his people, based on scriptures such as "do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God (...) by this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God" (1 John 4:1–3). They would, of course, believe that such speaking can never over-rule scripture - due to Sola Scriptura giving it the higher authority.

So true! That’s why everyone who reads the scripture agrees, including Luther and all the reformers. 🤣

The bottom line is that the ONLY known source of GOD breathed doctrine is Holy Scripture, which is the “Word of God”. Anything said or written thereafter must meet that burden of proof. If it cannot, then it must totally be in line with scripture to be accepted as true. Otherwise it must be discarded.

If the truth and the fullness of Christianity comes out of scripture alone, why are there so many differences in Protestant denominations and if the Rule of Faith is found only in scripture, where is Denominationalism found in scripture and why did the Arians “prove” their theology using scripture? There was no reformation in the 16th century, only revolution leading to division in God’s Church.

Turn to me and be saved all the ends of the earth!
For I am God, and there is no other.
I am God, the LORD, and besides me there is no saviour.
Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it.
Blessed is he who reads aloud the words of prophecy, and blessed who hear and who keep what is written therein, for the time is near.
Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophesy of this book.

Preachers of the "Word"?  Don't beat around the bush, Preachers of Jesus.  If His Name is not part of the sermon/homily of the  person who claims to be a follower of Jesus, IMO, it's not worth the time to listen. Life is too short.

My understanding of scripture alone is all scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. The inspired word of God is used as the final authority. If there is something written or said that is passed down orally, should it contradict the written inspired word, should be cast away and no credence given it. There's a reason a person's Last Will and Testament takes precedence over what someone says. Period.

"Sola Scriptura"= PRIVATE INTERPRETATION

[MrJayb]

The rule of sola scriptura is that there is no rule. The hallmark of SS is private interpretation. The end product is denominations and disunity. It is theological relativism at its finest.

[joecannes]

Excellent, sola Scriptura is the rule
