You are right it is about ’sola scriptura’ and no doubt I think that Catholics and the Eastern Orthodox would disagree.

I believe that at the end of the day, there must be something that has the final authority and I believe that to be the bible. When we start making the bible fit into what WE want, that is where cults start and where unsound doctrine creeps in.

These all appear to be excellent guidelines to me.

I do have a question about this one: “Theological presuppositions are bad, scripture determines doctrine, not the other way around.”

Isn’t that the “sola scriptura” doctrine of Luther and Protestantism? Wouldn’t Catholics and the Eastern Orthodox disagree, at least in part?

(I personally really like the sola scriptura doctrine. But I think it’s a doctrine nonetheless).
