The 5-Solas of the Reformation: π§΅
What were the great rallying cries of the Protestant Reformation? The "5-Solas" define the heart of biblical Christianity.
They guard the gospel and exalt Christ!
Let's walk through themβbiblically, theologically, and historically.β¬οΈ
Sola Scriptura (Scripture Alone) π
Rome teaches Scripture + tradition are equal.
Godβs Word alone is our ultimate authority.
π Luther: "A simple layman armed with Scripture is to be believed above a pope or a council without it." (WA 7:838)
π 2 Tim 3:16-17!

@JennaEllisEsq@G3Conference Dear Jenna, as I stated to you in our private text convo, I think your scorch earth approach is by far overkill. At best, itβs a misuse of the word legalism and worst case scenario itβs indicative of a lack of theological knowledge on the issues at hand.
@JennaEllisEsq@G3Conference We do embrace the 1689 LBC as a Statement of Faith. See chapter chapter 22 p. 7.

Concerns Regarding the Church in πΊπΈ (𧡠1 of 12):
Iβm a Christian who loves America and our freedom. I believe critical social justice is a formidable dragon facing the church in our day. I stand opposed to it. However, we must avoid some mistakes as we defend the faith! [1]
Problem 1: The false idea that the church needs help from the worldly ideologies that are actually antithetical to the gospel. This position denies the sufficiency of Scripture and the transformative power of the gospel. [2]
