Episode notes
Sola Scriptura Defined
- Sola Scriptura is the foundational belief that Scripture alone is the infallible rule for faith and practice.
- This means everything God wants us to know is explicitly or implicitly in the Bible.
Unquestioned Belief
- Both Ken Hensley and Matt Swaim never questioned Sola Scriptura as Protestants.
- They treated it as a self-evident truth like gravity.
Logic of Sola Scriptura
- Ken Hensley's logic for Sola Scriptura was that only Scripture is inspired.
- Therefore, no other authority like pastors, creeds, or popes is needed.
