Sola Scriptura with Ben Witherington III

Ben Witherington III suggests that churches and Christians are taking their signals and sense of direction from the culture rather than the biblical witness itself. That’s why he has written Sola Scriptura, a book that clarifies Scripture as the “final authority in the modern world.” Ben was one of my teachers and has written a commentary on every New Testament book. Baylor University Press calls this a ‘magisterial study’ and it is fitting for a scholar like Ben to give the church this volume now.

I am an Episcopalian, orthodox but not especially conservative and not at all fretful about human sexual diversity, my view is definitely more Prima Scriptura than Sola Scriptura, but I agree with this view of the Bible.

[@gracegeek4678]

Wesley acknowledged experience, tradition and reason; but they were all subservient to Scripture. Scripture was always first.

A lot of ignorance here. Scholars such as late Dr.Gordon Fee (an Adviser in NIV) and Dr. Craig Keener answer all these questions from exegesis from Greek and answers objections. In a word, tounges are not necessarily a "language" but as Acts 2:4 says "as the Spirit gave utterance". Some times the Spirit may give utterance in a language form .(As at Pentecost or as recorded in some rare times by missionaries...but most times not in a language but something only known by God from the human spirit. Many critics have not even read the scholarly works above .
