Theology 201 Guidelines
This is the forum to discuss the spectrum of views within Christianity on God's foreknowledge and election such as Calvinism, Arminianism, Molinism, Open Theism, Process Theism, Restrictivism, and Inclusivism, Christian Universalism and what these all are about anyway. Who is saved and when is/was their salvation certain? How does God exercise His sovereignty and how powerful is He? Is God timeless and immutable? Does a triune God help better understand God's love for mankind?
While this area is for the discussion of these doctrines within historic Christianity, all theists interested in discussing these areas within the presuppositions of and respect for the Christian framework are welcome to participate here. This is not the area for debate between nontheists and theists, additionally, there may be some topics that within the Moderator's discretion fall so outside the bounds of mainstream evangelical doctrine that may be more appropriately placed within Comparative Religions 101 Nontheists seeking only theistic participation only in a manner that does not seek to undermine the faith of others are also welcome - but we ask that Moderator approval be obtained beforehand.
Atheists are welcome to discuss and debate these issues in the Apologetics 301 or General Theistics 101 forum without such restrictions. Theists who wish to discuss these issues outside the parameters of orthodox Christian doctrine are invited to Unorthodox Theology 201.
Remember, our forum rules apply here as well. If you haven't read them now would be a good time.

2) They still subjected themselves to the Word of God as they had it. Paul preached from the Tanakh.
3) Acts praises the Bereans because they searched the scriptures to see if what an apostle taught them was true. Sounds quite sola scriptura to me.

Sure. They sought to make sure that what Paul was saying was compatible with Scripture. Paul preached from the Tanakh, but he also preached from what had been revealed to him by Christ.

Paul quotes Epimenides again at Titus 1:12 in his condemnation of Cretans as "liars, evil brutes, [and] lazy gluttons" and Menander's comedy ThaisAiolos.
And then there is the reference in Jude (vss.14,15), which is a quote from Enoch, which is a non-canonical or apocryphal book rather than from a pagan author.
Just food for thought.Last edited by rogue06; 11-18-2016, 10:31 AM.

Thus, sola scriptura.
Thus, sola scriptural. Sola Scriptura doesn't mean you can't preach and bear witness. It just means that the written bible is the only highest authority on matters of Christianity.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio
