6. How could sola Scriptura\u00a0<\/em>be the only way for people to know God when, for most of history, the majority of people could neither read nor have access to books?<\/p>\n 7. Protestants blame Catholics for believing\u00a0late, man made doctrines that the early church had never heard of, but\u00a0Sola Scriptura\u00a0<\/em>had never been heard of before the sixteenth century.\u00a0Not only can it not be proved from the Bible, but there is no trace of the doctrine of\u00a0sola Scriptura\u00a0<\/em>anywhere in the writings of the early church. The entire edifice of Protestantism, however, is based on the foundation of\u00a0sola Scriptura.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n 8. If\u00a0the only source for teaching and moral instruction comes from the Bible how are we supposed to answer the questions that arise about things that were never heard of in Bible times? How can the Bible instruct us about important current problems like nuclear war, artificial contraception, in vitro fertilization, euthanasia, gender re-assignment or genetic modification, cloning or a whole range of other modern issues. Only a living and dynamic, Spirit filled authority can sift the facts and come up with the right teaching.<\/p>\n 9.\u00a0Sola Scriptura\u00a0<\/em>is linked with the idea of that the Bible is easy enough for any simple person to understand. While the basic teachings seem easy to understand it is clear that the Bible is an extremely complex document which requires the insights of theologians, Bible scholars and linguists to understand clearly. Why else would Protestant pastors be required to go to seminary before being qualified to be pastors?<\/p>\n 10.\u00a0Sola Scriptura\u00a0<\/em>has led to the thousands of divisions within Protestantism. Because they couldn\u2019t agree, even from the beginning, the Protestant leaders began to split and form their own sects. How could\u00a0sola Scriptura\u00a0<\/em>be the foundation for the church when it leads to such division? How could this division be part of Jesus command and prayer for that there be \u201cone flock and one shepherd\u201d?<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 6.
