To some, it means what it did to Luther; that all knowledge necessary for Salvation is sufficiently contained in Scripture. However, to many modern Protestants Sola Scriptura has come to mean that all knowledge necessary for Salvation is exclusively contained in Scripture.

Now that's an interesting conclusion on your part...For those who chose the word sufficient, are you suggesting that they or the Catholics perhaps agree that the knowledge of the scriptures is sufficient, but not necessarily the only way to gain all knowledge for salvation, kinda like there's a back door somewhere???

John 5:39-40 39 You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me, 40 yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life.

Scripture is all we need to find Jesus. Matter of fact, obviously, the OT is all we need.

The reason is simple and given by Jesus Himself. Scripture points to Jesus and HE is all we need for eternal life. Jesus didn't appeal to anything else to lead men to Himself.

"For those who chose the word sufficient, are you suggesting that they or the Catholics perhaps agree that the knowledge of the scriptures is sufficient..."

I can understand the sufficiency argument even though I can't support it. It is the exclusivity argument that I find completely bizarre and in contradiction to all Scripture and human logic. In any event, Salvation is not metered by what we know, but rather how we live what we know.

Peace be to you
