Biblical Authority

I am going to say this twice, once at the beginning and once at the end, because the nature of this question is begging to be misunderstood.

Here goes: The issues are not the value of academic study or the value of scholarship. The issue is final authority and, secondarily, the priesthood of all believers.

I have seen arguments trying to persuade Christians to join their camp because they have the big name scholars. What has been lost, IMO, is the argument to embrace a certain position/doctrine on the basis of clear Scriptural argument.

It used to be considered a Baptist Distinctive: The Bible is the only rule for faith and practice.

It seems from some recent discussions that this foundational principle has been thrown under the bus of Culture.

Is the Bible sufficient to guide Believers today?

Are there sufficient Scriptural statements, principles and precepts to judge culture, movements within Christianity, music, Christian Character, doctrine as well as doctrinal deviation?
