Protestant Bible worship, sola scriptrura, is both un-Biblical and illogical.  The doctrine can nowhere be found in the Bible, therefore based on its own premise, it disproves itself.  Furthermore, plenty of Biblical texts can be referenced that call upon Christians to believe in oral Tradition as well as written Scripture (1st Corinthians 11:2; 2nd Thessalonians 2:25; 2nd Thessalonians 3:6; John 21:25).  The Scriptures plainly condemn personal and private interpretation of the Bible apart from the established Tradition of the Church (2nd Peter 1:20; 2nd Peter 3:15-16).  Finally, it is the Bible itself that calls the Church, not the Scriptures, the “pillar and foundation of truth” (1st Timothy 3:15).  This should be enough for any level-headed Protestant, not emotionally attached to Martin Luther or his teachings, to see that something is wrong withSola Scriptura.

“Finally, it is the Bible itself that calls the Church, not the Scriptures, the “pillar and foundation of truth” (1st Timothy 3:15).”

Yet who was it that preached the Gospel in advance to Abraham?

“And the scripture, foreseeing, that God justifieth the Gentiles by faith, told unto Abraham before: In thee shall all nations be blessed.”—Galatians 3:8 DR

And who was it that “...concluded all under sin, that the promise, by the faith of Jesus Christ, might be given to them that believe”?

SCRIPTURE. (Galatians 3:22)
