The article cites the following NT passage, “so that you may not

An Articulation of Sola Scriptura Pt. 2

Some Objections Considered I continue from where I previously left off: An Articulation of Sola Scriptura Pt. 1. We next address four main objections often leveled against the sole, sufficiency of the Holy Scriptures. It is claimed that if 2 Timothy 3:14-17 proves the doctrine of Sola Scriptura, then

An Articulation of Sola Scriptura Pt. 1

The Biblical Basis for the Sufficiency of the Holy Scriptures Sola Scriptura is the belief that the Holy Scriptures are the sole, sufficient, infallible rule of faith.

The Biblical Basis for the Apostles’ Creed Pt. 2

I continue with my series on the Apostles’ Creed: /2018/04/07/the-biblical-basis-for-the-apostles-creed-pt-1/. I believe in the Holy Spirit, Seeing that the creed merely affirms belief in the Holy Spirit, and doesn’t go into details concerning his identity, I have therefore decided to provide a somewhat comprehensive case in

The Biblical Basis for the Apostles’ Creed Pt. 1

Here I begin a multipart series where I seek to establish the fidelity of what is commonly referred to as the Apostles’ Creed to the God-breathed Scriptures. I will seek to prove that this creed accurately sums up the Bible’s teaching in respect to God, Christ, the Holy Spirit
