Flame Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lately man its been some problems the scriptures have been under attack and that's crazy
See God's word is the final authority I'm sorry there's no way you can sway can't persuade me
The holy scriptures is the only sufficient certain and infallible rule for the Christian
Nothing can be added at all so you can keep your revelation and religious traditions
The-op-nyoo-stos (theopneustus) its God breathed
2 Timothy 3:16
Because the scriptures are the only example of God breathed revelation in possession of the church
They form the only infallible rule of faith for and which we base the church
Let's talk about inspiration
God's the author no mistaken man

Let me hear ya say yeah (yeah)
(S-O-L-A SCRIPTURA)
(S-O-L-A SCRIPTURA)
It's the Bible man B-i-b-l-e

People pick pick and choose
What they will and won't use from the holy scriptures
But the Bible is not just a book that you can just look through and see what fits ya
Naw dawg it's tota scriptura
All of scripture
Was told by John Calvin
So if you LDS Jehovah's Witness or if you Roman Catholic
Please don't insert your own authority in place of the scriptures that's backwards
The scriptures are perfect and they are able to guide the people of God into the truth God
1689 Baptist Confession is my point of reference in which I use for ya'll
How I'm talkin' about sola scriptura but I'm using the confession I'm confusin' ya'll nope!

Let me hear ya say yeah (yeah)
(S-O-L-A SCRIPTURA)




(S-O-L-A SCRIPTURA)
It's the Bible man B-i-b-l-e

Overall Meaning

In "Sola Scriptura," Flame addresses the topic of the authority of the Bible. He acknowledges that there have been problems with the scriptures being under attack, but unequivocally states his belief that the Bible is the final authority for Christians. Flame argues that the holiness of the scriptures is due to their being God-breathed, as opposed to revelation or religious traditions. The inspiration of the Bible is mentioned, and Flame posits that God is the author and not mistaken man. Additionally, he highlights the concept of Tota Scriptura, which posits that all of scripture must be considered.


Flame also addresses the issue of people picking and choosing what they want to use from the Bible. He argues that this is inconsistent with the notion of Tota Scriptura, which he attributes to John Calvin. Furthermore, Flame cautions against inserting one's own authority in place of the scriptures. He uses the 1689 Baptist Confession as his reference point, asserting that it provides guidance as to how Sola Scriptura should be approached.


Overall, the song is a defense of the Bible as the ultimate authority for Christians, and a warning against disregarding its teachings in favor of human traditions or individual preferences.
