Scripture alone doesn't mean we literally never hear God anywhere else. It's the final authority for everything we believe.

Five Solae

What are the Five Solas, well lets state them.

Sola Fide (faith alone)

Sola Scriptura(scripture alone)

Sola gratia(Grace alone)

Solus christus(Christ alone)

Sola Deo Gloria(glory to God alone)

So what do these mean and why do they exist? Back before the reformation (Luther and his 95 theses) the church and its doctrines where governed by the Catholic Church and the Pope. so the Catholic church has the Bible but it also has its Canon Law and the some other non biblical doctrines Such as Purgatory and Indulgences.

These extra things came about because of the Pope being able to add to the Cannon Law and various other things without referring back to the bible.so when the Reformation came, a new set of founding principles had to be stated en-order to separate the Protestant movement from the Catholic movement, thus we have the Five Solas.

so these five points of principle state what we base our creed on in protestant world.

We are saved by faith alone and no amount of good works can save you without faith. 

Romans 1:16 NIV

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.17 For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last,[e] just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”[f]

The Bible is the one source of Scripture we use and is the source of all our doctrine. 

2 Timothy 3:16 New International Version (NIV)

“16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness”

Grace alone is responsible for allowing you to choose god and salvation and it is not possible to choose with out grace due to our sinful nature, we are no long under the law.

John 1:17

“For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. “

Christ alone is the only way to god, praying to saints or Mary will not allow you to speak to god and serves no purpose.

John 14:6 New International Version (NIV)

“6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

God Alone is to be Glorified, no being dead or alive is to be set above God 

Revelation 15:4 New International Version (NIV)

4 Who will not fear you, Lord,    and bring glory to your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come    and worship before you, for your righteous acts have been revealed.”

Sola Fide (Faith Alone) – Pastor Patrick Hines Sermon / IMPROVED AUDIO! 2 Corinthians 11:3 But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his trickery, your minds will be led astray from sincere and pure devotion to Christ. 4 For if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you…

Do we really believe in Sola Scriptura?

I believe in Sola Scriptura. I stand on it theologically in everything. Sola Scriptura literally means Scripture alone, meaning that Scripture alone is our authority.

Why does Sola Scriptura matter to biblical womanhood? Because without the authority of Scripture, there is no case for biblical womanhood. No Titus 2: 3-5. No Proverbs 31 woman.  Without Sola Scriptura, we have nothing. I stand on Sola Scriptura. I stand on it theologically in everything. Sola Scriptura literally means Scripture alone, meaning that Scripture alone is our authority. I’m a Titus 2…

taash said "they were doing it" and people ran with the interpretation of an npc that doesn't know solas or the history of the elvhenan even when bellara interjected and said, no, that's not right. that's not how it was for the elvhenan. they formed bonds before they had physical bodies. and people ran to doompost or create weird anti-solavellan shit even though mythal & solas refer to each other as old friends and when she releases him there is no tenderness or love in it. it is the act of unchaining a dog from his post, the stepping down of a general. but to each their own ig.

Nothing is perfect, but they're handling this. Mostly.

[thebookworm0001]

as much as I go on about solas being right the other part of that conversation is always that solas is a whole-ass idiot who needs to listen to his friends and let them help him

[miriani-lavellan]

I think some fans get too attached their fluffy headcanons in the space between these games. You should know by now this world is blighted and corrupted and that peace and stability is so fragile every decade or so something happens to break it. Every attempt to save Thedas is only going to half-work until the Blight is solved. All our heroes have been doing is putting off the inevitable.

What our heroes do is not save the world, but give it a chance.
