*Show Note
So Adam kept saying "sole" (pronounced like what's on the bottom of one's shoe) scriptura as one of the protestant perspectives he was trying to explain. However, the position he was trying to describe is more correctly pronounced, "solo" scriptura (as in the swashbuckling intergalactic space pirate many are familiar with).
