[OLD REGGIE]

Please inform me of you understanding of the dogma of Sola Scriptura.

I don't know of such a thing as a "dogma" of Sola Scriptura.

If you can find one I'd be glad to comment on it.

I'd also be more than willing to comment on your understanding of Sola Scriptura, dogma or not.

I'm perfectly willing to accept Augustine's comment regarding supremacy of Scripture. (Please note it is not "dogma".)

Thanks for your reply.

Is the “”Whatever you hear from them..” limited to direct quotes of scripture only? Or would preaching/teaching concerning scripture also be included in your view of sola scriptura?

By the way: Dogma is a principle or set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true.

I believe you would agree sola scriptura qualifies as a principle and as incontrovertibly true. Is it on your own authority that removes it as dogma or that you do not recognize Luther or other Protestant denomination’s confessions as authorities?

Amen. What a lovely statement by Augustine.

Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar." -- Proverbs 3:5-6
