There is considerable debate these days concerning the inerrancy (infallibility) of Scripture. The authority of God’s Word is the main issue. But, if one yields to the authority of Jesus Christ (Yeshua HaMashiach), he must, in turn, yield to Christ’s view of the Scripture itself. Anyone and everyone who claims to be a Christian (a believer under the authority of Christ) must hold to the same view He did! What was it?

ping to Word of God
So very true!
Sola scriptura (Latin for ‘by scripture alone’) Is one of the five Solas which my church, the PCA, bases our faith.
In 2 Timothy 3:16, Paul states that the Scripture is God’s breath (breathed out by God). And “God’s Breath” is meant very literally. Just as In Genesis 2:7, we read that God’s breath brought life to the first man Adam. In John 20:22, we see that Jesus breathed on His disciples and brought new life to them as He told them to receive the Holy Spirit.
The scriptures are so very powerful ….. so powerful that Jesus quoted scripture when he battled Satan. And I believe that God literally “breaths” His WORD into us as we read them.
Scripture infalliable. Interpretation of it not so much.
Alone as being the only infallible, immutable authoritative sufficient (in its formal and material providence) express word of God whereby one may (not necessarily will) by saved and grow in grace (see here), but not alone as formally and explicitly providing all that is needed, from reason to the teaching office of the church, but which strawman many Catholics misconstrue it as meaning, in arguing for sola ecclesia, in which formal RCC teaching is supreme, and as preceding Scripture, and as if men such as the apostles being able to speak as wholly God-inspired means that the promulgations of the RCC all have the same veracity. .Thus see 14 questions as regards sola scriptura versus sola ecclesia
Yet the majority of RC scholarship reduces such historical accounts as Balaam's talking donkey to being fables.
Even when I lived outside the household of faith I knew that to accept Jesus as Lord was to also accept scripture as He did.
If you don’t is He truly Lord of your life?
No. Wrong. Read more than Jack Chick tracts.
Sola is not just wrong by nonsense when you consider that the vast majority of the world was illiterate until recently.
The only reason Sola is embraced by Protestants is so they can throw out the teaching authority of the church and substitute their own in their rebellion.
Come back to the one true church that Jesus founded.
“There is considerable debate these days concerning the inerrancy (infallibility) of Scripture.”
Is that because the LGBTQ+ folks are trying to justify their life styles in spite of the Bible condemning it.
PCA here…Agree!

—> Sola is not just wrong by nonsense when you consider that the vast majority of the world was illiterate until recently.
And yet God’s Word was authoritative despite the number who could read or not.
It remains so today.
It will never pass away.

Christians embrace the gift God gave to the Church of teachers who proclaim Bis Word.

I left the Roman church where I never heard the Gospel of Grace, annd embraced Him and His Indescribable Gift for eternal life.
Why would anyone leave Him, and eternal life, and assurance of salvation, for a religious system that can’t save??
No sale.
Good article. Interesting comment though…his point number 1… He knew the Scriptures thoroughly, even to words and verb tenses. He obviously had either memorized vast portions or knew it instinctively.
Well yes…read John 1:1… In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Then John 1:14… And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Jesus knew scripture, not because he memorized vast portions (because much of it had not even been reduced to writing), he knew it because he was it. He was the Word!
Well reasoned article, thanks for posting it.
I know it’s asking a lot but please grow up.
You left to get your own way, just like every other Protestant.
How can you not see that of it’s scripture alone then everyone who can’t read won’t have access to salvation?
There is the magisterium, scripture and Tradition. Take any one of those away and the 3 legged stool falls over and you get the myriad of different beliefs that is Protestantism such as:
Baptist
Presbyterian
Methodist
Church of Christ
Jehovah’s Witness
Mormon
Lutheran
Episcopalian
Evangelical
And the different flavors of all of these and tens of thousands of different denominations that you call the Gospel of Grace, which is obviously a gospel of confusion.
Even mad Marty complained that Sola was making it so that every milk maid thought she could interpret scripture.
Catholic means universal

I know what catholic means. In usage: We have a catholic turning away from God and His Word to our detriment.
