I returned to that issue around Question of the Week number 331[3] or so and treated it a second time. MARK MITTELBERG: Are you saying that one of the Ten Commandments says “thou shalt not kill” but then if God kills then he's breaking his own commandment? It ultimately resulted in new churches based on biblical principles apart from Catholic traditions and leadership. We would be wise to go after that rather than fighting each other on the age of the Earth.[4]. I'm thinking of the passages in the Bible that said that God actually commanded them to kill and all that. That’s the bottom line. Let no one do anything of concern to the Church without the bishop. DR. CRAIG: On the website ReasonableFaith.org, Question of the Week number 16[2] addresses this. I think that's the enemy. QUESTION: All of Scripture is God-breathed and there are no errors. Therefore, it must be admitted that the Word of God as we have it in the Old Testament is not merely a Scriptural record, but rather comes to us (at least in this one case) through both Scripture as well as a living oral Tradition. The second-order claim (sola scriptura) denies that public revelation is found outside of Scripture after God ceased to disclose himself orally or textually to and for believers in general. ¶ Le réformateur calviniste John Knox (1514-1572) sur l’application de la doctrine biblique et protestante du Sola Scriptura aux autorités civiles. I think that's aiming the guns the wrong way. So we just don't know. …. So then those who offer their oblations at the appointed times are acceptable and blessed, but they follow the laws of the Master and do not sin (i.e., 1 Corinth 11: 27-30). I think that we would never have good reason for believing such a hypothesis. Maybe it was in a second edition of the Gospel of John. This is part one of a panel discussion that occurred at an apologetics conference not long ago. 3. It would mean that we might have an erroneous view of God. They were Apostles, and I am a mere convict.“. KEVIN HARRIS: Welcome to Reasonable Faith with Dr. William Lane Craig. Rather, Paul is citing Jewish oral Tradition. Sola Scriptura is one of the watchwords of the Reformation which means Scripture alone is the authority in matters of faith and practice, not church tradition as the Catholic Church held. So maybe John wrote the Gospel and then later on he thought, Oh, I forgot about this story, and in the second edition he included it in. I think that's a good philosophy for anyone whether they believe the Bible or not. DR. CRAIG: I think what you're referring to is the idea that the universe is some sort of hologram. Can I just be really honest with you? Common sense suggests that some sort of oral tradition was always needed to accompany the Written Law. It seems as if the demise of sola Scriptura has been highly exaggerated. Get Dr. Craig's newsletter and keep up with RF news and events. Wherever the bishop appears, let the people be there; just as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church.”. Sola scriptura is therefore consistent with the view that Andrews sought to articulate, though obviously sola scriptura does not imply the truth of his view. Sola scriptura means that Scripture alone is authoritative for the faith and practice of the Christian.
