Should I Believe in Sola Scriptura?
This post will examine the question, “should I believe in Sola Scriptura?” I can’t put my finger on what has caused it as a society, but I’ve seen it countless times. Professing Christians using sources other than Scripture as their go-to for understanding how to make sense of God and any matters about life: *…
