Published: July 4, 2026 | thefinalconvergence.com This attack is the one that feels most obviously true, because it is, in one important sense, obviously true. The Bible was written by human beings. Not angels. Not God dictating to passive stenographers. Actual human beings; a tax collector, a physician, a shepherd, a king, a tent-maker-turned-apostle, a…

Published: July 3, 2026 | thefinalconvergence.com This is the cleverest objection in the series. It does not attack the Bible’s historical reliability, its textual transmission, or its claimed miracles. It attacks the logical structure of the Sola Scriptura position itself, and claims to show that Sola Scriptura is self-defeating by its own standard. The argument,…

We have established what Sola Scriptura is, what the Bible claims about itself, the authority and sufficiency of the Word, and how we got the sixty-six books. Now we face the eight most significant objections to…

Today we ask the follow-up question that authority alone does not answer. Is it enough? A book can have authority and still be incomplete. A constitution has authority over the nation…
