What Does Sola Scriptura REALLY Mean?

There's massive confusion about what sola scriptura actually means. Catholics say it's self-refuting. Many Protestants can't articulate it clearly. And honestly? Most popular definitions are either too vague or apologetically weak. In this video, I give you a precise definition that actually works. It's one that handles the major objections and reflects what the Reformers actually taught, "Scripture alone is the church's infallible and sufficient rule, not the only authority, but the only authority that cannot err, containing all doctrine necessary for salvation and godliness, under which all other authorities are subordinate."

What You'll Learn:

  • The complete definition with all seven components explained
  • Why this definition is better than simpler formulations
  • Why sufficiency MUST be in the definition itself (not just an implication)
  • Why "infallible" is in the definition but "inerrancy" isn't required
  • How to answer the "sola scriptura is self-refuting" objection

This is what the Westminster Confession articulates. This is what serious Protestant apologetics requires. And this is what we should be teaching in our churches in my opinion.
