Lyrical Theology Thursday: Flame – “Sola Scriptura”
Posted on 11. Feb, 2010 by William Jacobson in Music, Theology
Sola Scriptura (Scripture Alone) is the teaching that Scripture is the Church’s only infallible and sufficient rule for deciding issues of faith and practices that involve doctrines. While the Bible does not contain all knowledge, it does contain that which is necessary for salvation. Indeed, if something is not found in Scripture, it is not binding upon the believer. This view does not deny that the Church has the authority to teach God’s Word. Furthermore, while tradition is valuable, it but must be tested by the higher authority of the Scriptures
Flame is an artist on Cross Movement Records (CMR). Flame is one of my favorite MCs. As he finds a unique way to present deep theological truths while staying current with the sound in modern hip hop. Flame resides in St. Louis and is currently attending Boyce College (the undergrad program at Southern Seminary) Flame will now take a stab at Sola Scriptura.
Verse 1:
Lately man its been some problems
the scriptures have been under attack and that’s crazy
see God’s word is the final authority I’m sorry there’s no way you can sway can’t persuade me
the holy scriptures is the only sufficient certain and infallible rule for the Christian
nothing can be added at all
so you can keep your revelation and religious traditions
the-op-nyoo-stos (theopneustus) its God breathed
2 Timothy 3:16
because the scriptures are the only example of God breathed revelation in possession of the church
they form the only infallible rule of faith for and which we base the church/ let’s talk about inspiration
God’s the author no mistaken man
Hook:
Let me hear ya say yeah (yeah) REPEAT
(S-O-L-A SCRIPTURA) REPEAT
it’s the Bible man B-i-b-l-e
Verse 2:
People pick pick and choose
what they will and won’t use from the holy scriptures
but the Bible is not just a book that you can just look through and see what fits ya
naw dawg it’s tota scriptura/ all of scripture/ was told by John Calvin
so if you LDS Jehovah’s Witness or if you Roman Catholic
please don’t insert your own authority in place of the scriptures that’s backwards
the scriptures are perfect and they are able to guide the people of God into the truth God
1689 Baptist Confession is my point of reference in which I use for ya’ll
how I’m talkin’ about sola scriptura but I’m using the confession I’m confusin’ ya’ll nope!
