When the Bible is ignored when it plainly teaches about sexual sins and cultural perspectives are embraced as governing the actions of the church instead, then that is not sola scriptura.
Ah, the No true Scotsman fallacy.

quote:Actually no. I was correcting his understanding of what sola scriptura applies to. It's a doctrine fundamentally about authority for Christians. When a congregation or denomination makes some other thing a higher authority than the Scriptures in terms of determining doctrine, then they are not adhering to sola scriptura. This is not a "no true Scotsman" fallacy because I'm operating off of a definitional understanding of the doctrine.
Ah, the No true Scotsman fallacy.
If a professing Christian is claiming that the Bible as their highest authority commands them to support these things, then that's a different conversation about hermeneutics.
