I didn't argue that the very words "Sola Scriptura" would have to be found in the Sacred text. I am just asking for a Scriptural definition of the principle, and the first few searches don't turn up anything,

I'll repeat for you my query to aMPU:

...Which led me to conclude that--- to these particular people, anyhow --- "Sola Scriptura" meant "No acknowledgement of any evidentiary material except what is explicit in the Sacred Text."

I'm sure that wouldn't be --- for instance --- Al Mohler's definition, but it is the way 6 FReepers I could name (but won't) use the phrase in order to preemptively disqualify evidence.

So, of your kindness: a working definition, or link to a definition, of Sola Scriptura which is acceptable to you --- if I may ask.

Would St. Augustine work for you?

    What more shall I teach you than what we read in the apostles? For Holy Scripture fixes the rule for our doctrine, lest we dare be wiser than we ought. Therefore I should not teach you anything else except to expound to you the words of the Teacher.

I already posted it TO YOU in post 523 upthread on this very page. Which, BTW, was not the first time I've posted it on this thread.
