On October 31, 2007, we will be 10 years away from the 500th anniversary of the Reformation. Yes, that is kind of depressing. 490 years of disunity in the Church, 490 years of the Church being torn in pieces.
I hate to think of all the ‘celebrations’ promoting this event that will be beginning in a matter of years.
I have been thinking of ideas that we should start now to take away from the idea of ‘Reformation+500’ and promote ‘Restoration+500’.
The first idea I have is for a website to promote the fact that Scripture alone does not exist in Scripture.
I am thinking of offering a $5000 reward (Yes, I would put up my own money) for a verse in Scripture that explicitly states that Scripture alone is the sole authority of faith. I would hope that other people would donate money so the sum grow and grow into an amount that would be impossible to ignore.
The purpose of this website is to create doubt in the minds of many protestants about the validity of sola scriptura - “Why hasn’t anyone claimed the $5000-$25000- $100000 cash prize? It is in Scripture, isn’t it?” Create a doubt about that and suddenly there is a crack for the Holy Spirit (and an army of apologists) to get into.
People can argue about peripheral issues but if somehow we can crack the foundation stone, maybe the whole wall will come tumbling down.
I am looking for people’s honest comments and criticisms about this project. Don’t worry… I have thick skin. I appreciate honesty more than kindness. If you are interested in helping out, I would appreciate that as well.
Do you think www.biblealonescripturechallenge.com would get someone’s attention?
