only the Gospel according to John is necessary for salvific content”). .....

Christ is sufficient for salvation...John simply writes of Christ as the one who saves us. If the Pope or some other leader tries to say that Obama is the true Savior via some type of assumed alter authority which they claim comes from God, then we go to the Bible to refute such a charge. That is Sola Scriptura simply explained.

The Bible is our backstop for when our various church leaderships become so infested with wolves in sheep’s clothing who spout wild claims and strange doctrines about God and Christ, that men of faith will have a tool and weapon to refute these men and restore a sound faith to our churches. (such as what happened at the birth of the reformation)
