Sola Scriptura: the reformed Protestant belief that the Scriptures alone are the final and only infallible authority for the Christian

So many people get these details wrong. Can't tell you how many times someone accuses us of believing that the Scriptures alone are the only authority and only source of knowledge for the Christian. Thanks for posting!

That's true. Most Protestants read the Bible as illuminated by their own particular denomination's traditions and foundational writings.

Which is fine until they start trying to expel from Christendom those who have a different tradition, in which case they are no more justified in doing so than are Catholics.

The bible itself speaks of the witness of nature and the witness of the Holy Spirit, and the witness of believers (giving a reason for the hope that is within us).

The scriptures are what tie its meaning all together for the Christian. It doesn’t mean that nothing else can or does furnish information. The results would be ludicrous (and deny the bible too) if it meant that.

Some people are so devoted to the bible that Jesus can’t get a word in edgewise, so to speak.
