Fine.. you know the meaning...

now back to the question ...

In Jesus’s ministry on earth would his teaching be described as Sola scriptura...I'm not saying he taught a doctrine of it Im saying his teaching was a demonstration of it before the word was coined...

as opposed to the Catholic concept of having the centralized church being the final authority...which in Jesus day would have been the Sanhedrin...that put Jesus for blasphemy for not following in their authority.....

Was Jesus ministry was a demonstration of Protestant to the Central Church authority of his day..

I'm not saying he was a Protestant “the domination” I'm saying he's a demonstration of the concept protestant to the Central Church authority...

he was put on trial for blasphemy by that authority...so somebody had power to get him execute for not saying what he was supposed to be saying per the religious leader of his day

“In Jesus’s ministry on earth would his teaching be described as Sola scriptura...I’m not saying he taught a doctrine of it Im saying his teaching was a demonstration of it before the word was coined...”

The only time that we know that Jesus wrote was when he was telling the people “let he who is without sin caste the first stone.” So the whole scriptura thing didn’t apply. He was telling people things through parables and example and using the culture, the traditions, and the writings of the Hebrew people.

“as opposed to the Catholic concept of having the centralized church being the final authority...which in Jesus day would have been the Sanhedrin...that put Jesus for blasphemy for not following in their authority.....”

God is the final authority. The Body of Christ is the Church and the Bride of Christ. Here are the events of the Passion of Christ. The agony in the garden where Jesus experiences all the sins of everyone past, present, and future; the betrayal by Judas - probably the one person he knew who could approach him in intellect; the trial of the Sanhedrin - his immediate community where he had been worshiping for his entire life - remember - he was presented at the temple, he stayed there when he was 12, he came up to Jerusalem several times a year to observe the feasts as ordered. He knew these people. This was his way of showing us that we cannot rely on human beings, no matter what their titles and institutions, for salvation; He then had to be betrayed by his government. He had lived his entire life under the Romans. No love lost but still another loss and another way that he modeled to us not to rely on our government. These events were all part of his Passion so do I count on my Pope or my bishop to bring me salvation? No. My relationship is directly with Jesus. But my Church with all its sinners and faults is my way to the enrichment of my faith. It is there that I am fed.

“Was Jesus ministry was a demonstration of Protestant to the Central Church authority of his day..

I think I already answered this. Protestants spend a lot of time afraid of Rome and of the Virgin Mary. I’m not sure why but still they are. I am blessed to be a Catholic so easily having been born into the faith. But every day I review the history and the traditions. I see nothing inconsistent with the scriptures. I have the faith but also the sacraments and the communion of saints to help me on my faith journey. I rejoice that I have the Church Fathers and the saints and Mary and especially that as Jesus ordered us to do, I can eat his body and drink his blood and become part of him as he is part of me. A “stumbling block” I know but there it is.
