In the gospels and epistles, Jesus is reported to have commanded the apostles and disciples to TEACH, to BAPTIZE, to EAT HIS BODY AND DRINK HIS BLOOD. In other words, to hand on TRADITION and to confect SACRAMENTS. Jesus is not reported even once as suggesting that his teaching was to be written down—let alone that writings were to be the ONLY means of transmitting his teaching.

The diabolical doctrine of sola scripture is a human invention, part and parcel of a stunted, deformed, and relatively novel caricature of Christianity.

Okay, let me count these up.

Logical fallacy: Appeal to age Logical fallacy: Because I said so. Logical Fallacy: Ad hominem. Logical Fallacy: Appeal to Ignorance. (You’ve been doing nothing but put down one doctrine without telling us why we should believe yours.) Logical Fallacy: Demonization. Logical fallacy: Circular reasoning. Logical fallacy: False dichotomy. (Even if sola scriptura is wrong, it does not mean that your Catholic tradition is right.) Logical fallacy: Loaded words.

Grade: F. See me after class.

You just blew your argument out of the water by appealing to the WRITTEN word.

The diabolical doctrine of sola scripture is a human invention
di·a·bol·i·cal
ˌdīəˈbälək(ə)
l/Submit adjective
belonging to or so evil as to recall the Devil.
synonyms: devilish, fiendish, satanic, demonic, demoniacal, hellish, infernal, evil, wicked, ungodly, unholy

Psalms 18:30 As for God, his way is perfect: the Word of the LORD is tried: He is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

Trusting in Gods Word solely is satanic according to Art. Gods Words says His Word is tried, purified and true. Who should I believe?

Because Jesus was a public figure there can't be any copyright issues involved. He didn't mark anything Top Secret - For My Apostles Eyes Only. Jesus is our example so what's the problem?

—let alone that writings were to be the ONLY means of transmitting his teaching.

Well, I hate to break it to you Art but that's how we accurately pass down information from one generation to another. They didn't have video equipment back then so writing was the best available method of accurately telling of the events at that time for future believers.
