The Church of Christ is based on the Bible.
Sola Scriptura
• Sola scriptura is a Protestant Christian doctrine that states the Bible is the only source of authority for Christian faith and practice.
• The Latin phrase translates to “by scripture alone”.
• Sola scriptura is a core principle of the Protestant Reformation.
• It’s a rejection of the idea that tradition or early church writings have equal authority with the Bible.
How it works
• It’s based on the belief that the Bible is the inspired word of God, and that what Scripture says is what God says.
• It’s the basis for the idea that Scripture alone is sufficient to resolve religious controversies.
• It’s the basis for the idea that heresy is determined by the teaching of Scripture, not by ancient creeds.
Why it’s important
• Sola scriptura is a return to the early church’s view of the relationship between Scripture and tradition.
• It’s a rejection of unbiblical traditions.
• It’s a way to point back to what God has revealed in the Bible.
