New Post Series On The Five Solas
I am going to begin a new series of posts dealing with the Five Solas. I have already posted a definiton of Sola Scriptura and will soon publish the first post in the series which will be discussing Sola Scriptura in more detail.
In case you are wondering, the Five Solas are:
- Sola Scripture (Scripture Alone)
- Sola Fide (Faith Alone)
- Solus Christus (Christ Alone)
- Soli Deo Gloria (The Glory of God Alone)
- Sola Gratia (Grace Alone)
Check back soon and comment on the posts.
Sola Scriptura Briefly Explained
Sola scriptura teaches that the Scriptures are the sole infallible rule of faith for the Church. The doctrine does not say that there are not other, fallible, rules of faith, or even traditions, that we can refer to and even embrace. It does say, however, that the only infallible rule of faith is Scripture. This means that all other rules, whether we call them traditions, confessions of faith, creeds, or anything else, are by nature inferior to and subject to correction by, the Scriptures. The Bible is an ultimate authority, allowing no equal, nor superior, in tradition or church. It is so because it is theopneustos, God-breathed, and hence embodies the very speaking of God, and must, of necessity therefore be of the highest authority.
