Sola Scriptura, Part 11

Spirit of Love and Unity in the Context of Sola Scriptura

Live from Salt Lake City, Utah, “Heart of the Matter” with Shawn McCraney delves into the complexities of worshiping God in Spirit and Truth. As we wrap up our discussion on Sola Scriptura, we look forward to hosting Dr. Don K Preston to explore the Preterist perspective. Pastors are especially encouraged to attend this free conference on September 11-12, 2015, to challenge their views and engage in open dialogue.

In our exploration of 2nd Corinthians, we highlight the theme of subjective Christianity. Paul emphasizes faith over dominion, the spirit over the letter, and the liberty found in the Spirit of the Lord. This subjective faith is a call to focus on the unseen, eternal aspects of Christianity, rather than rigid doctrines.

Reflecting on the historical impact of Sola Scriptura, we see a timeline of divisions and new movements, from the Anabaptists to the Methodists, illustrating the challenges of uniting believers under a single interpretation of scripture. The diversity of interpretations underscores the need for love and unity among those who follow Christ.

As we continue to navigate these complexities, we are reminded that the Spirit of love is the key to true Christian unity. The written word serves as a guide, but it is the spirit of love that binds us together.
