I was listening to Alistair Begg on the radio while driving to work this morning. Part of his topic was Sola Scripture - 'by the Word alone.' Unless you have been immersed in the Christian church for a long time, you probably have never heard this phrase.
What it means is that the only way to interpret the bible is by reading the bible. I have listened to many arguments regarding errors, inconsistencies and misinterpretations of the Word. To date, not a single one has stood up to scrutiny. The bible is the most internally consistent work or literature extent. Written by multiple authors over a 2,000 year period, you will find the same message delivered and the same God presented no matter where you start.
Many people have claimed to have insight into the Word and many more will eagerly interpret it for you. The only way to know what God is saying in the bible is to read it.
blessings on your day
