Latin word “sola “ means alone and “scriptura” refers to our scriptures.
Sola scriptura means that Scripture alone is authority of Christian faith and practice. The Bible is complete, authoritative and true as written in 2 Timothy 3:16 “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness” .
Concept of Sola Scriptura comes in when questions and personal opinions starts to take priority over the teachings in the Bible. Therefore it is important that the only way to know for sure what God expects of us is to stay true to what we know He has revealed, His word — the Bible. We have to be sure and no doubt of the fact that the Scripture is reliable.
Wayne Grudem, author of Systematic Theology define: "The inerrancy of Scripture means that Scripture in the original manuscripts does not affirm anything that is contrary to fact" .
According to Tim Challies, What Inerrancy is Not:
inerrancy does not preclude the use of ordinary language;
inerrancy does not preclude the use of loose and free quotations;
the Bible can be inerrant even if it contains unusual grammatical constructions; and Scripture is inerrant only in its original autographs.
“Straw men have never been known to put up much of a fight, hence, trying to defend an errant view of sola scriptura always results in defeat.” By James White
Until proven, which i doubt will, our scripture is truly the word of God and from God to all mankind and there is no error.

If God exist...what would be the description or idea of God?
God exist for sure, if not, who created this world? Where does men comes from?
God is the Father, God is the Son, God is the Holy Spirit. God is here, there, everywhere. Before the world, God is. He said "I am who I am". God has more names than anyone. God created men and love men. He loves and yet He is a just and righteous God. He is the greatest healer. He is still the same God. He never changes.
God is by our sides all the time. He knows us and loves us and He longs for us to come to Him in prayer and worship Him. He is always there waiting for us, anytime, to talk to Him and tell Him our joy and problems. He also gives us a lot of promises when we read His word, the Bible. And the greatest gift of all is Jesus Christ who said "I am the way, the truth and the life, no one can come to the Father except through me", And yet, this Jesus, has to go through shame, suffering, pain and even death on the cross!! For what? For you and me so that our sins are forgiven and through Jesus Christ we may go to our Father in heaven, who is waiting for us.
Are we talking about the same God? What do you think?
I want to end this with a joke cats and dogs that conveys their differences perfectly. A dog says," You pet me,you feed me, you shelter me,and you love me,you must be God." A cat says," You pet me, you feed me,you shelter me,and you love me,I must be God." (From Cat and dog theology)
If you are a christian, which kind are you, dog or cat?
