Where is Sola Scriptura in the Bible?

[nacnewman006]

Where is Scriptura Sola in the Bible? I like to say it that way because I think that's how it's said in Latin. Which is funny, because the Protestants tend not to use Latin. That's more of a Catholic thing...
Anyway, just wanted to see what y'all think. Peace!

I've never found any solid support for [i]sola scriptura[/i] in the Bible. On the contrary, the Bible instructs us to look to both scripture and Tradition. (see 2 Thess. 2:15 for example).

I also like to point out that the Canon of Books of the Bible is not in the Bible, but made up by my Church.

Also the Mass happened before the Bible was written.

Christianity is not a Religion of the Book, but is a religion of the Incarnation.

I've been very very tempted to ask this question to my pastor and see what kind of response I get.

I think your right because doesn't the adjective come after the like noun or verb or whatever. I just know in Spanish when I say i'm wearing blue pants it would be wrote pantolones (pants) azul (blue)...and I think out Spanish teacher told us it was the same in Latin.

In Latin anything goes, more or less.

I don't get how people follow a book because the book told them to.

its Sola Scriptura

[avemaria40]

It's not, the Bible even says the Church is the Pillar of foundation and truth in 1 Tim 3:15

[phatcatholic]

this should just about cover it:

the best support for sola scriptura is 1 Corinthians 4:6, [b]"Do not go beyond what is written". [/b]it can be used in conjunction with 2 Tim. 3:16, (2 tim 3:16 can't be used by itself to defend sola scriptura).

a common mistake made by catholic apologists is to take the absolutist sola scriptura position as the common protestant view. hardly any protestants hold to that. sola scriptura means the bible is the only source of teaching we can KNOW is infallible, but it must be interpreted through the lens of tradition (which each protestant individually sees slightly differently). however, tradition (as their argument goes) is not needed to understand the primary purpose and message of the Bible; that a wrathful God mercifully became man, died, rose, and ascended for humans because he loves us and wants communion with us.

the best two books I've used for refuting sola scriptura are "Not by Scripture Alone" (which still has the common catholic misconception, but nonetheless debunks any other view of the novel doctrine) edited by Rob Sungenis (who is otherwise a friggen' loon) and the history stacked against it provided by "one, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic" by Ken Whitehead.

It can be a mistake. Or, in the case of apologists like Dave Armstrong, it is demonstrably a distinction without substantial difference.

[White Knight]

I prefer to use the terms. Word of God, Sacred Scripture or Bible.

GAHHH! My heart- my first phatmass phorum thread, and it's being changed... It's cool- I didn't know if it was acceptable to call it Scriptura Sola, but simply liked the novelty of it (insert icon here). Thanks for all of the replies. Feel free to agree or, better yet, disagree and get some debate and dialogue goin' here. Peace y'all!

God Bless,

Pooky. Or, Josh.

ROFL do it Becky, I'd love to hear what he says.

[nacnewman006]

Are you Protestant? What kind of answer do you think you'd get? I am interested.
Also, do y'all think someone not of the Catholic persuasion (and of the Protestant persuasion) will ever answer this thread? Peace y'all!
