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.
PCA here…Agree!
Amen 🙏🏻!!!!
“And I believe that God literally “breaths” His WORD into us as we read them.”
Truth!
I was intersting as I grew in my faith (and have always been a constant on Scripture reading and study) that though I never made a point to memorize scripture how easily and quickly they came to mind when the occasion called for it...and still does to this day.... Just as Jesus promised His Spirit would do.
It was said to me one that as we read the scripture goes through us....and this by His Spirit our great teacher!
