Where does it say Sola Scriptura in the Bible?

What Happened for the 1st 4 Centuries when there was no BIBLE?

What happens to the Illiterate who can’t read?

What happens when 80% of New testament transpires in Greek speaking territories and the Apostles quote Greek version of Old testament?

Of the 33576 Protestant sects in USA which one is the ONE TRUE sect representing the CHURCH?

These are all straw man fallacies, which have been repeatedly answered on FR - and likely many other forums. I suspect if you take some time to read and think, at least half would be clear to you.

Where does it say climate change in the Bible? Do we need to list the endless list of ungodly practices handed down from the mother church throughout history. It was these abuses that lead to Sola Scriptura.

“So God wants his people unified. He doesn’t want his children “tossed here and there by waves, and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the cunning and craftiness of men.”

And to this end, he gave His Church pastors and teachers.”

(the above from article)

The church was nearest the source of truth during the first thirty years after the resurrection. And during this period, as the New Testament writers give witness to, there were pastors and teachers (church hierarchy) and these pastors and teachers (church hierarchy ) could not prevent the church, in some places, from going completely off the rails, showing, that there is no salvation in church hierarchy. Salvation comes, as Paul wrote, from faith and perseverance.

Where does it say Sola Scriptura in the Bible?

The apostles repeatedly say to read their letters and stick to what they said and wrote. The Bible is our only sure source of apostolic teaching. Any other other interpretation equates the apostles with the Roman Catholic Church which creates some very weird interpretations. My favorite is that the church is build upon the apostles, but if the church is equal to the apostles, then the church is built upon itself.

What Happened for the 1st 4 Centuries when there was no BIBLE?

What tripe! The apostles wrote letters. The churches shared letters. The apostles said to read the letters they sent to other churches. The Bible only includes letters that have been read in the churches from the beginning.

What happens to the Illiterate who can’t read?

They heard the scriptures in the church. Other people read to them. You don't have to be able to read the Bible yourself to be saved.

What a misunderstanding! A sect is a smaller group with somewhat different beliefs than the larger group to which they belong. I like the term synod better; those who walk together in faith.

There is no ONE TRUE sect. While we all strive for correct doctrine, we all accept that our truth is not infallible. While we know we can make mistakes, we also accept that others can make mistakes as well. While we can choose to submit ourselves to the judgement of another so that we can maintain our synods, we understand that it is our duty to promote correct doctrine and question those who promote error.

Ps. 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet., and a light unto my path.
Prov. 30:5,6 Every Word of God is pure; He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him. Add thou not unto His Words lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

Now you tell me where "Pope" is found in the Bible, or the church has the authority for an inquisition to murder and torture poor believers who believe different than Rome, or where priests can molest little children and their superiors try to conceal and move around the molester.

When catholics continue to repeat this many times debunked statistic it shows their ignorance of the topic.

Wow - I've never seen someone give a precise number before. Surely you can name them all, since you know the exact number!

Which is of course a faulty Papist logic.

There are all sorts of true churches that can be found across all denominations
