Sola scriptura (Latin for ‘by scripture alone’) Is one of the five Solas which my church, the PCA, bases our faith.

Alone as being the only infallible, immutable authoritative sufficient (in its formal and material providence) express word of God whereby one may (not necessarily will) by saved and grow in grace (see here), but not alone as formally and explicitly providing all that is needed, from reason to the teaching office of the church, but which strawman many Catholics misconstrue it as meaning, in arguing for sola ecclesia, in which formal RCC teaching is supreme, and as preceding Scripture, and as if men such as the apostles being able to speak as wholly God-inspired means that the promulgations of the RCC all have the same veracity. .Thus see 14 questions as regards sola scriptura versus sola ecclesia

Yet the majority of RC scholarship reduces such historical accounts as Balaam's talking donkey to being fables.

Even when I lived outside the household of faith I knew that to accept Jesus as Lord was to also accept scripture as He did.
If you don’t is He truly Lord of your life?

No. Wrong. Read more than Jack Chick tracts.

Sola is not just wrong by nonsense when you consider that the vast majority of the world was illiterate until recently.

The only reason Sola is embraced by Protestants is so they can throw out the teaching authority of the church and substitute their own in their rebellion.

Come back to the one true church that Jesus founded.
