What is “Sola Scriptura”? Im asking you if you know
Why don’t you describe it. Sola scriptura means “only scripture” in Latin. The Latin word scriptura means writing. Sola means only. I referenced Luther because I think he coined the phrase. I can cut and paste the Wikipedia definition but you can do that. So again I ask, where in the Gospel did Jesus say, “go forth and teach all nations, writing down books and excluding others”? The first century was a world where although there was the written word, a lot of oral tradition still survived.
I’m now thinking of the movie, A Few Good Men where Cathey is doing re-direct on one of the witnesses, a regular marine from the post where Willie was killed. Kevin Bacon had just asked him to show where in the Marine code or in the military code he could find the term “code red.” He couldn’t. On redirect, Cathey asked him to show in either set of codes where the regs were on the location of the mess hall. He couldn’t but admitted that he ate “three squares” a day and had no trouble finding the mess hall. I go to church to be fed so this is an apt analogy for me. If that Marine had only acted based upon the marine and military code books, he would have starved to death.
So I don’t know whether that’s helpful but it is my rather inadequate response to what I think is your question.
