It may be interesting to also take into account how the Eastern Church views this idea of Sola Scriptura. You can find a brief intro here: www.orthodoxinfo.com/inquirers/tca_solascriptura.aspx
It's also interesting to read about the reform...
Tony; I believe that, before God, I have both the right and the responsibility, to interpret God's Word for myself, and to obey that interpretation/understanding. I do not "subordinate scripture to my understanding." Rather, I submit my understand...

Again, no where in any of the writings of the Saints listed will you ever see them address the doctrine of Sola Scriptura. I ...
I would say "dual source" is actually an impossibility. It's like Highlander-there can be only one (and he's a SCOT!...sorry I digress). If the two sources disagree, the one that is adhered to is the real "final" authority. So there is always one ...

- Well it is never late for a summer visit in Greece. You will make new bonds with people who discibe themselves "evangelical reformed" too. What is your ministry dreams?
