Sola Scriptura is a doctrine of men. It has led to the division of Christianity into a thousand sects, and within those sects, every man is his own Pope. Jesus repeatedly said he wanted his followers to be ONE. You reject the command of Jesus. You support anarchy in the Church.

Wow, you actually believe that believing the inspired Word of God is against the Will of God?

You really believe that God would have mankind believe man made doctrines and traditions over His own Written Word?

He warned in His Inspired Written Word, that man is not to forbid marriage. Yet the man made doctrine you adhere to has done just that and now your having to defend your religious leaders for raping little boys and girls. All while they used the money given to them by followers like you, to pay to silence victims of clergy abuse, all while sheltering the abusers from perish to perish.

You might want to try reading the Word yourself, it might answer those questions about your traditions.

Revelation 18:3-5
King James Version
3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

The point is that Scripture must be INTERPRETED; many passages are not self-evident and are subject to different interpretations; many passages seem to contradict others; and different translations offer different readings of various passages. Different HUMAN denominations enforce different interpretations as a condition of membership. You are the type who sets himself up as his own Pope; YOU are the authority, and anyone who disagrees with YOU is damned.

You don't even know what my traditions or beliefs are. You don't know what I've read or what I've studied. You must be a mind-reader! Actually, more of a bigot.
