Some Tough Questions for Protestants

These questions below are impossible for a believer in sola scriptura to answer, since no verse or combination of verses in Scripture provides the required information.

Provide the verse(s) which:

• Say(s) God created the world/universe out of nothing,
• Say(s) Scripture is the sole authority (i.e., there is no other authority for learning about God and/or salvation),
• Say(s) salvation is attainable through faith alone,
• Tell(s) us how we know that the revelation of Jesus Christ ended with the death of the last Apostle,
• Provide(s) a list of the canonical books of the Old Testament,
• Provide(s) a list of the canonical books of the New Testament,
• Explain(s) the doctrine of the Trinity,
• Tell(s) us the name of the "beloved disciple",
• Contain(s) the name of the author of the Gospel of Matthew,
• Contain(s) the name of the author of the Gospel of Mark,
• Contain(s) the name of the author of the Gospel of Luke,
• Contain(s) the name of the author of the Gospel of John,
• Contain(s) the name of the author of the Acts of the Apostles,
• Tell(s) us the Holy Spirit is one of the three Persons of the Trinity,
• Tell(s) us Jesus Christ was both fully God and fully man from the moment of conception (e.g. how do we know His Divinity wasn't infused later in His life?) and/or tells us Jesus Christ is One Person with two complete natures, human and Divine and not some other combination of the two natures (i.e., one or both being less than complete),
• Tell(s) us Jesus Christ is of the same substance of Divinity as God the Father.
