What’s your understanding of it?

Is it absolute etc?
Does it begin at a certain time it always has been in effect?

Thanks

In Acts 17:11, the Bereans were praised because they diligently tested everything that Paul said against OT Scripture to see if what he said was true, so Sola Scriptura is essentially the position that we should follow that precedent whenever someone tries to teach us something and that if there is ever a conflict between what someone says and what Scripture says, then we should believe what Scripture says, so God's word alone is the highest authority.

No it does not say they TESTED!

It says they accepted the gospel on the authority of Paul!

Later they searched the scripture but it don’t say why? Cos they doubted Paul? Cos of curiosity?
Who knows

What scripture was it that they searched? The part about suffering was Isa 53 but where does it teach the resurrection in the Old Testament?

Acts 17:3 Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ.

That’s not a definition that f sola scriptura??? Try again

From: https://biblehub.com/greek/350.htm

"examine, inquire into, investigate, question."

That is in regard to examine Scripture to see if what Paul said is true, so "testing" is an appropriate translation, and that is not accepting what Paul said based on his authority. If they were accepting what Paul said based on his authority, then they wouldn't have examined Scripture to see if what he said was true.

In Acts 17:2, it says that Paul reasoned with the from Scripture, so again Paul used Scripture as his authority rather than arguing from his own authority.

You don't have to like it, but it is what it is.

Did you find a scripture about the resurrection?

Where does the living word of God say God's people reasoned through the oral traditions of the fathers? Below ?

1 Samuel 28:13 And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth

Sounds like patron saints 3500 and rising disembodied workers with a familiar spirit.

There is no oral tradition of the dying Holy Fathers passed on in a succession of men that rises up above sola scriptura.All things writen in the law and prophets the reforming restoring power of God

Put on the Armor of Christ the shield of faith, the sword of sola scriptura thereby shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the oral traditions of dying mankind.
 
I thought of that one yes but it does not actually say resurrection or risen from the dead
Thanks
The apostles Peter and Paul, who enjoy apostolic authority to the church, teach that it refers to the resurrection (Ac 2:31, 13:35).

Christ our Holy Father alone is the one good teaching master. not the dying apostles like that of Jesus the son of man.

Apostles can plant the incorruptible born again seed and another messenger water the seed with the doctrines of God that fall from above. But they are considered as nothing Christ does all the teaching work forming his will in us

Clearly each has his own reward , according to his own labour, the apostles were not crucified for the sins of dying mankind.

1 Corinthians 3:5 Who, then, is Paul, and who Apollos, but ministrants through whom ye did believe, and to each as the Lord gave? I planted, Apollos watered, but God was giving growth; so that neither is he who is planting anything, nor he who is watering, but He who is giving growth --


He who is planting (preaching the gospel) and he who is watering are one, and each his own reward shall receive, according to his own labour,

He
does all the teaching work or he does nothing. . nada

Mark 10:17-18King James Version.17 And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.

God alone not a legion of dying fathers after the oral traditions of venerable men called patron saints (3500 and rising) that lord it over the understanding of the non venerable pew warmers.
 
I thinks so too
Why would you think that the bible defines the sent messengers that some call apostles a "greek word" as messenger of God ,bringing prophecy the revealed will of God. Not the will of dying mankind, false apostles

It can be demonstrated using my wife as the prophet sending me her little apostle with a list not to be added to or subtracted from. Her little apostle returning from the journey with all on the list.as prophecy fulfilled. My reward gold star on the calendar. Christ's reward eternal spirit life

Being a Berean didn't really exist for most people until about fifteen hundred years after Christ.

By the time the Trinitarian church formed in the 400's, they began tightly controlling access to the manuscripts and documents that would later become what we know as the Bible. They didn't take unauthorized possession of copies of the scriptures lightly either. They would literally imprison and/or kill people over it especially if they were saying something that didn't jive good and well with kool-aid the "church", during this period, was feeding the masses.

You couldn't follow along in a Bible with what the sermons were. You were told how it is and expected to go with it.

People risked their life and died to get the documents copied, translated, and distributed. After the cat was out of the bag is when people started finding out what the Bible actually says; no, it doesn't jive with Catholicism or Protestantism either.

"Being a Berean" probably actually came about as being realized around the mid 15th century.

Christ is not our Holy Father, with which Holy Father you are in disagreement regarding his apostles chosen by his Son.
Yours is definitely not a Biblical mind.
Where do you get such trash?
