I believe exclusively that the bible (old and new testament) is the only source of authority. I think the Holy Scriptures are the infallible revelation of God's will. They are the standard of character, the test of experience, the authoritative revealer of doctrines, and the trustworthy record of God's acts in history. Why would I need anything else? It answers ALL questions regarding my beginning, my present, and my ending. The scrpitures itself warn against accepting anything outside the bible. I choose to believe what I read in the bible, accept it on faith that it is truth and although all scripture is truth, all scripture should not be taken literally. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Joan, yes. I am at a loss for the scripture that gives indication we should accept no other source but I will try my best to find it. I think it might be in Thessalonians. But I'm not sure about that.
