Even from the few select references we have offered, it may be clearly seen that the five Reformation Solas' - Scripture, faith, grace, Christ and God's glory - are internally united and therefore inseparable. This is because the mind of God as revealed in Scripture is one. When the Holy Spirit combines them in our experience, we too cannot think of one without referring to the rest. This is the aim of all true theology - to think God's thoughts after him, and so be conformed to his mind.

The Apostles didn’t believe in Sola Scriptura.

OoooRah!
Semper Fi!
(All of the above meant in a spiritual sense! Just the heartfelt reaction of an old Jarhead.)
Well said!

I think this would qualify as a caucus thread.

The Apostles didnt believe in Sola Scriptura.Which is why they quoted all kinds of sources besides the Old Testament..../NOT!
(I believe the apostle Paul was the only apostle to cite a few PAGAN sources...and he did that merely as an intro in finding commonality as part of his all things to all men approach...not as quoting anything remotely authoritative like the OT)

Oh. I clicked the thread thinking it was about the International Convention for Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS)

So we can keep bashing Catholics....who preserved the Bible until the advent of the printing press, which made it convenient for Protestants to edit.

As a general rule Protestants don’t feel the need to hide behind the Caucus rule.

and where DID Luther get this from ?
faith alone ? where is that in Scripture prior to MrLuther rewriting it ?
did he also delete
1Thessalonians 5:20—do not despise prophecy ?
etc.
To: the_conscience
I appreciate you pointing out that we are not as rude as some Protestants on this forum. I simply pointed out my belief that it qualified for a caucus as a courtesty.

Ms. lastchance, that is correct. Those afraid to have their beliefs challenged may hide behind the Caucus tag.

But the beliefs are not challenged in any sort of coherent manner. Instead the vilest of lies and calumny are posted and we have to rise a defense against the doctrinal equivalent of “have yo u stopped beating your wife?”.
But I don’t want this thread to get pulled away from your discussion of the Solas, so I will disengange now.

Rationalizing it only confirms the pathology.

We begin where Luther begins, with 'sola Scriptura,' the formal principle of all Reformed teaching. We need 'sola Scriptura' because in this dark world of spiritual blindness, 'the only reason we can see at all is that the light of God's Word shines brightly (2 Pet. 1.19).' Without that light 'we would not know or understand anything.' (Works, 6.148) So the underlying foundation of Protestantism comes not from Scripture, not from Tradition passed down from the Apostles, but from Luther's "Works." That is quite a damning admission.
