The concept of "Sola Scriptura" and inerrancy of Scripture.

Sola scriptura is authoritative for the faith and practice of the Christian. Sola scriptura is an argument against unbiblical, extra-biblical and/or anti-biblical doctrines. The only way to know for sure what God expects for us is to stay true to what we know He has revealed - the Bible.

The Bible is the Word of God and it declares itself to be God-breathed, inerrant, and authoritative. He does not change his mind or contradict Himself. Therefore, those traditions that contradict the Bible are not of God and are not a valid aspect of the Christian faith. Traditions play an important role in clarifying and organizing Christian practice. Sola scriptura is the only way to avoid subjectivity and keep personal opinion over the teachings of the Bible. The essence of Sola scriptura is basing your spiritual life on the Bible alone and rejecting any tradition or teaching that is not in full agreement with the Bible. Sola scriptura does not nullify the concept of church traditions. Rather, Sola scriptura gives us a solid foundation on which to base church traditions. That is why Christian must always go back to Sola scriptura. Again, traditions are not the problem. Unbiblical traditions are the problem.

We now have the Scriptures readily available to us. Through the careful study of God's Word, it is clear that many church traditions which have developed over the centuries are in fact contradictory to the Word of God. This is where Sola scriptura applies. Sola scriptura points us back to what God has revealed to us in His Word. Sola scriptura ultimately points us back to the God who always speaks the truth, never contradicts Himself, and always proves Himself to be dependable.

"If God exist, what would be the description or idea of God?"

Is God really exist? The law of universe proves that there is God; the wonder of all creation proves that there is God; the character of humankind proves that there is God; the life of all living things proves that there is God; the experience of life proves that there is God; if there is Ghost, there is God; the miracles proves that there is God; the good and evil proves that there is God.

It is because the beginning is the God, the creator of the universe and earth, God is love for He is a loving God.

In the ontological argument, Anselm (1033-1109)said that "implanted in human beings mind is the idea that God exist."

In the cosmological argument, from the creation's majesty, order and wonder, Plato and Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) agreed that there must be a cause adequate to account for the universe. And that is God

In the teleological argument, Newton found out that the God exist because the "Appearance of developing purpose in the universe."

In the moral argument, Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) point of view was that, God somehow is " The voice in the heart of human beings calling them to do right."

God is omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresence.
