Teleios Online

For TELEIOGS: The following is meant to emphasize the importance of understanding Biblical Doctrine accurately. 

I recently watched on TV  a testimony by a Former Protestant minister re. His conversion to Roman Catholicism. He stated that one of the major reasons for doing so was the Reformer’s position re. ” Sola Scriptura,” which he defined as their claim that The Scriptures were the source of all truth. I concluded right away that if that were the basis for his conversion, then his conversion is based on a false belief. This was somewhat ” fresh” with me, because I had just recently taught re. The ” Solas”  of the Protestant Reformation at Teleios. 

Looking through my notes, I came across a quote I had saved re. The meaning of Sola ( NOT ‘solo’) Scriptura;  unfortunately, I had failed to keep the author of the quote! But I believe it depicts my position very clearly nonetheless – that’s probably why I kept it! Here’s the quote by the unknown author:

“The sufficiency of Scripture can best be defined as the Bible’s supernatural ability, when rightly proclaimed and properly followed, to produce any and all spiritual results intended by God. Referred to as sola Scriptura by the Reformers, this core truth does not claim that all truth of every kind is found in Scripture, nor does it imply that everything Jesus or the apostles taught is preserved in Scripture (Jn. 20:30; 21:25). 

Rather, the sufficiency of Scripture affirms that everything necessary for the salvation of sinners, the sanctification of believers, and the spiritual direction of ministry is provided by God’s Word. Psalm 19:7 affirms this central truth when it declares “the law of the Lord is perfect” (emphasis added), meaning it is whole, complete, lacking nothing, a comprehensive treatment of truth.3 The Scripture, Paul writes, makes the man of God “adequate, equipped for every good work” (2 Tim. 3:17). 

This said, the Bible claims a divine potency, for itself, a supernatural ability, if you will, to more than adequately carry out God’s work in the world.”

Selah!

Hi, theologs! Welcome to my new blog site! This is a space where you can upload, download or just simply unload anything that has to do with theology, the Bible or religion in general. Ask a question. Make a comment. Inform. Whatever – once it is a means of “doing theology in community,” as Michael Patton puts it.

Remember to check TTTI’s site for dates of upcoming classes – they start as soon as June 8, 2009 with Trinitarianism.      http://www.teleiosministries.org/
