Actually, your link goes to an article written by someone else.
What facts, evidence or logic can YOU bring and post here? If someone does more than parrot what others have written, it will have traveled through their own thought process. I’d like you to bring what YOU can. Given that most of the articles I’ve seen you post are poor examples of handling God’s Word, they are just opinions. What do YOU have to bring?
I don't mean this in any argumentative way. First, I want to answer your request. Second, I am interested in telling you how I see this doctrine being supported biblically. Thanks for listening.
So far as "proving" a teaching like "sola scriptura", it is first made difficult for the same reason "proving" the "Trinity" is difficult. There is no place in the bible where the word "trinity" is used. So, we must establish that we are looking at scripture that teaches what we mean by "trinity" when we set out to prove the doctrine of the trinity. The same with "sola scriptura". We are looking for scripture that demonstrates that we are to have scripture be the authority on matters of faith and practice.
First, there is this:
- Ephesians 2: 19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. 22 And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.
- The passage attests that Christ is the chief cornerstone and then comes the apostles and prophets.
Next there is this:
- 2 Timothy 3:16-17, "16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for [b]training in righteousness; 17 so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work."
- Scripture that we have comes to us from God, the ultimate authority.
Next, we learn that God inspired the writers of old, the prophets:
- 20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
- In other words, we just covered the prophets message. It comes to us from God, so it is authoritative.
Next we deal with the apostles
- 2 Peter 3: even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest , as they do also the other scriptures,
- Here Peter places writings with Apostolic writings at the same level as other scripture, so Apostolic writings are also authoritative
- John 17: 20"I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; 21that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.…
- In this passage Jesus makes the message of the Apostles authoritative
So, In sum, we have the early Church testifying that Scripture is the word of the prophets and apostles, that it is authoritative, AND that their message is the FOUNDATION.
This makes it clear that scripture is the authority in all matters of faith and practice.
As I said, my purpose is not argument. My purpose is to tell you, a long time friend, how I see things. Thanks again for listening.
