This must be biblical error week for TWOTD.

TWOTD Ping.

Seems like it is 5 Solas week at the TWOTD source.

Interestingly, the TWOTD webmaster refers the reader to this article, posted on FR recently by yours truly.

Interestingly enough I went to the bible gateway and searched the words “Faith alone” and “faith only”

Sola Fide is an error.

Here is what it really looks like:

God’s grace ——> faith -——> works.

God’s grace leads to faith which leads to works.

When Paul talks of works, also, he is mainly talking of strict observance of Levitical law, not deeds of charity and mercy.

The thing we need to look for in scripture is the phrase ‘instrumental cause.’ So it seems like we can have sola fide only at the expense of sola scriptura.
