Sola scriptura alone leads Christianity to a place of
self destruction. A place where back sliding is more
common than growth in holiness. By church leaders'
own admission, people are leaving churches in droves.
Both Jesus and Paul knew that rules and requirements
were just to get you seriously engaged with the need for
grace and mercy; they were never an end in themselves.

Using "Stairway to heaven" as a metaphor, the words of
scripture are meant to inspire us to climb those stairs to
reach oneness with God. To surrender our own will for
the sake of ingesting His will. At this point, we will be
reacting to things in life with an inner commitment to
Him. As is written by Paul, "
You show that you are a
letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written
not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on
tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts."

Make no mistake, I do not proclaim that God's word is not
important; far from it. I am simply saying that the words
were written for inspiration and not for intellectualization.
Words to be written upon our hearts, not our brains. We
are saved by faith through grace not by knowledge alone.
