No. It is because Sola Scriptura does not guarantee correct interpretation. It is not a hermeneutical principle. It is simply a statement that Scripture has the final say. Among the bodies that adhere to SS, there are many hermeneutical principles in play (grammato-historical, historical-critical, etc). That is why the constant RCC refrain about how SS led to all the evils in the church makes absolutely no sense to us.
Perhaps there is a difference betwee Spiritual "intelligence" and Earthly "intelligence"?No, that would be "intelligent."
I never heard that term Solo Scriptura before and so I do not know what to think of it.
The way I see the difference, is those that hold to Sola place themselves under a central authority of sorts, and do hold to some traditions, that they feel hold up to the scrutiny of referances in the bible. Verses, those that hold to Solo, that rely on self that they believe is guided by the Holy Spirit to establish a rule of faith.
Peace be with you...Pam

Though that would appear to be "gnostic" thinking but hey, there is a lot of Spirituality symbolism in the Bible it seems.
Everyone here on this board is guided by the Holy Spirit from what I see. What is exactly your point?

There is also the greek "only/alone" I think.
We are all united in JESUS.Then why are we not united???
Because what people say and do are usually not theHi Sun.
I understand Sola Scriptura to be void of tradition as a measuring tool. The definition provided from Wiki says "scripture interprets scripture" so that you do not need anything to interpret scripture but scripture.
Yet I am now being told that tradition is used by some that are of a church that is Sola Scriptura. So my confusion is two part.
1st we have Sola Scriptura which only needs scripture to interpret scripture but we have some that say they are Sola Scriptura and use more than scripture to interpret scripture. This is a difference in definitions.
2nd we have many churches that have very different teachings and employ Sola Scriptura as their means to interpret scripture. Examples are the Eucharist being real or symbolic. And another is that Jesus is God or Jesus is from God but not God (Jehovah Witness and Mormon). There are more but these two should suffice as examples.
So those are my personal confusions with Sola Scriptura and where I see contradiction.
It does get tiring, just like the protestants are rebelliousAs to Catholicism that is something I did not want to bring in to this thread. I want to keep this soley Sola Scriptura so we do not go off in to Catholicism debates. Frankly that gets tiring and I really want to understand the theology of Sola Scriptura

We are all united in JESUS.
some
claim that they dont use any tradition, some
claim that they do, but truth be told, I bet
it's the rare man who doesnt, because we
dont live in a vacuum.
I am united in Them. Put off the Flesh and clothed yourself in Truth and RighteousnessBaptism has a way of doing that.
But I was thinking more along the lines of John 17 when Jesus said to be united as he and the father are united.
It was a great question.
I answered it on the second page.
As TLF writely pointed out before, God allowed even an ass to be guided by the HS.
Why not regenrate CHRISTians in the scripture interpretations?
Who are you implying that does not have the right interpretation.OK then, it should be relatively easy to answer the question asked by the OP, right?
I am very interested in hearing your answer telling us who has the right interpretation of the word.
Would you let us know?
