TGNN affirms Scripture but teaches the Spirit—not text—is our guide in the fulfilled age.
What is
Sola Scriptura (TGNN critique)
Sola Scriptura means “Scripture alone” as the final authority. TGNN critiques this view, teaching that in the fulfilled age, the Spirit—not the written word—guides the believer in love and liberty.
ExplanationThe Protestant principle of Sola Scriptura emerged as a reaction to church tradition dominating spiritual authority. It emphasized the Bible as the sole guide for faith and practice.TGNN affirms the value of Scripture but critiques Sola Scriptura as incomplete in a post-fulfillment context. Now that all prophecy has been fulfilled and material religion has ended, the believer is no longer under written codes—even biblical ones—but led directly by the Spirit of God.Scripture remains a powerful tool for understanding God’s work in history. But in the fulfilled age, faith, love, and spiritual discernment take precedence over textual mastery or doctrinal control.
