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.What’s your understanding of it?
Is it absolute etc?
Does it begin at a certain time it always has been in effect?
Thanks
No it does not say they TESTED!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.
From: https://biblehub.com/greek/350.htmNo it does not say they TESTED!
It says they accepted the gospel on the authority of Paul!
It says that some believed while others did not.]Later they searched the scripture but it don’t say why? Cos they doubted Paul? Cos of curiosity?
Who knows
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.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.
You don't have to like it, but it is what it is.That’s not a definition that f sola scriptura??? Try again
Did you find a scripture about the resurrection?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.

Ps 16: 10 is a good starter according to Ac 2:31, 13:35.Did you find a scripture about the resurrection?
What scripture?
In Acts 17:2, it says that Paul reasoned with the from Scripture,
I thought of that one yes but it does not actually say resurrection or risen from the deadPs 16: 10 is a good starter according to Ac 2:31, 13:35.
The apostles Peter and Paul, who enjoy apostolic authority to the church, teach that it refers to the resurrection (Ac 2:31, 13:35).I thought of that one yes but it does not actually say resurrection or risen from the dead
Thanks
Christ our Holy Father alone is the one good teaching master. not the dying apostles like that of Jesus the son of man.The apostles Peter and Paul, who enjoy apostolic authority to the church, teach that it refers to the resurrection (Ac 2:31, 13:35).
I thinks so tooThe apostles Peter and Paul, who enjoy apostolic authority to the church, teach that it refers to the resurrection (Ac 2:31, 13:35).
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 apostlesI thinks so too
Being a Berean didn't really exist for most people until about fifteen hundred years after Christ.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.
Christ is not our Holy Father, with which Holy Father you are in disagreement regarding his apostles chosen by his Son.Christ our Holy Father alone is the one good teaching master. not the dying apostles like that of Jesus the son of man.
