“Are you UNAWARE at that “sola” means alone? That is what protestants preach and they are big on insisting “sola scriptura.” Itsy bitsy problem for you people is that it is UNBIBLICAL. NO WHERE in the bible, EVER does the bible itself say “scripture ALONE.” In fact the bible directly contradicts your favorite pony. 2 Thessalonians 2:15 indicates teaching can be either a) by letter b) WORD OF MOUTH — and certainly if Peter teaches by letter he can also orally teach too. Duh. Also 1 Timothy 3:15 also states that the church is the pillar and foundation of truth...and Jesus said that Peter is who he is building his church on. It’s not Catholics you have an issue with, but apparently Jesus Christ. Sola Scriptura is not our circus.”

Let’s take it a statement at a time.

“Are you UNAWARE at that “sola” means alone? That is what protestants preach and they are big on insisting “sola scriptura.”

What you wrote is not what is meant by sola scriptura. Your post presents a straw man instead of an accurate understanding. So first, I suggest doing some work to understand what is meant by this concept.

“Itsy bitsy problem for you people is that it is UNBIBLICAL.”

No. It is quite Biblical. Your straw man version is not biblical. Sola Scriptura is quite biblical.

“NO WHERE in the bible, EVER does the bible itself say “scripture ALONE.”

First, I must point out that your post is now attacking the false straw man it created. This is a logical fallacy. Go ahead and kick him hard. He’s all yours.

Scripture does not say Trinity, or Bible either. We use those terms to express a Biblical concept that is taught. Had you started with a correct meaning of sola scriptura, you would not have posted this.

“In fact the bible directly contradicts your favorite pony.”

I have no ponies or horses or donkeys. Nor do I play favorites.

“2 Thessalonians 2:15 indicates teaching can be either a) by letter b) WORD OF MOUTH — and certainly if Peter teaches by letter he can also orally teach too.”

Peter is departed and is no longer writing or teaching on earth. Scripture has been given. Teaching is not inspired. Scripture is inspired.

“Duh.”

OK.

“Also 1 Timothy 3:15 also states that the church is the pillar and foundation of truth...”

The church, when it does its job, is a foundation under truth and a pillar to show off truth to the world. The church is never truth.

“and Jesus said that Peter is who he is building his church on.”

Well, I understand that many catholics believe that, but it doesn’t say that.

“It’s not Catholics you have an issue with, but apparently Jesus Christ.”

Well, starting with the catholic personal interpretation of scripture, it would appear that way, but in reality, not at all.

“Sola Scriptura is not our circus.”

OK.

2 Timothy 3:16
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
