The Five Solas emerged during the Protestant Reformation as a summary of key theological differences between Reformers and the Roman Catholic Church. It emphasized salvation by grace alone (sola gratia), through faith alone (sola fide), based on Scripture alone (sola scriptura), in Christ alone (solus Christus), and for the glory of God alone (soli Deo gloria). In this post, we will explore how three out of Five Solas can be refuted just by using the words of Jesus Christ.

A Theological Critique of TULIP
Let’s explore verses often quoted by Calvinists from Words of Jesus Christ and God the Father to justify TULIP, and investigate how they error in every one of them. Please note these posts does not include any counter-verses elsewhere from words of Jesus but just taking the very verses quoted for Calvinism and disproving how they err using the same context in that verse.
Substitutionary and Penal Substitutionary Atonement
When we say Christ died for our sins, many believe it is through Penal Substitutionary Atonement. It teaches that Jesus took the punishment that humans deserve for sin, in their place, so they can be forgiven and reconciled to God.

False Doctrine on Total Depravity
Total depravity is a Protestant theological doctrine derived from the concept of original sin. It teaches that, as a consequence of the Fall, every person born into the world is enslaved to the service of sin as a result of their fallen nature and, apart from the efficacious (irresistible) or prevenient (enabling) grace of God, is completely unable to choose by themselves to follow God, refrain from evil, or accept salvation. In this post, we will explore why this doctrine of total depravity is false.
