Exactly. Those of us who believe in sola scriptura understand that ALL Christians are subject to error and everything must be examined through the Bible. Interestingly enough the Reformers would be the first to tell us to look to the Word of God and not to their doctrine. This was the position of the early church fathers such as Augustine as well. After all, they made a clear distinction between inspired scripture and other church writings.

Those who don't believe in sola scriptura simply listen to what others would have them believe.

"Those of us who believe in sola scriptura understand that ALL Christians are subject to error and everything must be examined through the Bible."

Problem with that, of course, is that your interpretation of the Bible is also subject to error.

The Church has been working on what the Bible means for almost 2000 years, and can give you the correct interpretation of pretty much every verse.

That's not a question of doctrine; it's a matter of having figured it out (with the guidance of the Holy Ghost, of course).

Ain't no way on God's green Earth that any person is ever going to figure it all out on his own steam. Life just isn't that long.

Who would have you believe in sola scriptura?
