Explain on the concept of "Sola Scriptura" and inerrancy of Scripture.

Sola scriptura (Latin ablative, "by scripture alone") is the declaration that the Bible as God's written word is self-authenticating, infallible and inerrant, expressed clearly to the reasonable reader, its own interpreter ("Scripture interprets Scripture"), and sufficient of itself to be the final authority of the teachings of the Christian religion.

As a Christian, I believe in the inerrancy of Scripture because all Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness (2 Tim. 3:16). Scripture alone is the formal principle of the faith, the final authority for all matters of faith and morals because of its inspiration, authority, clarity, efficacy, and sufficiency.

The importance and relevance of the Historical Jesus to the Divinity of Christ.

The atoning death of the Historical Jesus is truly available for us today. The death on the cross, and resurrection of Jesus after three days, two thousand years ago is a significant moment in history and it is not mere mythology. The Historical Jesus is the Son of God reincarnate. He proclaimed the coming of the Kingdom of God, and performed many signs, miracles, and wonders. The affirmation of the Historical Jesus as the Way simply means to acknowledge that he shows us who God is and how God acts in the world. I am convinced on the importance and relevance of the Historical Jesus to the Divinity of Christ. He is the all-encompassing Truth of God, a truth that is personal, active, relational, and gracious.

"If God exist, what would be the description or idea of God?"

I personally believe God exist by faith. There are many good and wonderful attributes in my God. I would like to focus on one attribute that is love. I know my God to be a loving God. John 3:16 tells me, “For God so loved the world, he gave his one and only begotten, that whoever believes in him may not perish but have eternal life.” My God is a God of love because he was willing to pay the price for us two thousand years ago when he died on the cross for our sins.
