“Where’s Sola Scriptura in “His Word”?”

It is His word, not the word of some dead pope. And He values that word above His name (Psalm 138:2) That’s what Sola Scriptura is all about - God’s Word, not man’s word. Just because they wear brocaded robes and lived 1400 years ago doesn’t make them right.

Where’s Sola Scriptura in His Word? or Bible for that matter?

Personally, I’m too stupid to read His Word and get the meaning. I’ll take the studies of Men 1400 years before me.

Who btw wrote all that stuff down for you.

***“Where’s Sola Scriptura in “His Word”?”

It is His word, not the word of some dead pope. And He values that word above His name (Psalm 138:2) That’s what Sola Scriptura is all about - God’s Word, not man’s word. Just because they wear brocaded robes and lived 1400 years ago doesn’t make them right.***

Why don’t we see what the Bible says about Sola Scriptura?

John 20:
30
Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of (his) disciples that are not written in this book.

John 21:
25
There are also many other things that Jesus did, but if these were to be described individually, I do not think the whole world would contain the books that would be written.

2 Peter 1:
20
12 Know this first of all, that there is no prophecy of scripture that is a matter of personal interpretation,

2 Peter 3:
15
And consider the patience of our Lord as salvation, as our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, also wrote to you,
16
speaking of these things 12 as he does in all his letters. In them there are some things hard to understand that the ignorant and unstable distort to their own destruction, just as they do the other scriptures.
17
Therefore, beloved, since you are forewarned, be on your guard not to be led into the error of the unprincipled and to fall from your own stability.

And what does Paul have to say about sola scriptura?

2 Thess 2:
15
Therefore, brothers, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught, either by an oral statement or by a letter of ours.

Paul instructs us that the Church is primary. Still not convinced? Are you calling Peter et al dead popes and spurning their words? 1 Timothy 3:

15
But if I should be delayed, you should know how to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of truth.

The Church, RT; the Catholic Church, and not a rabble of Luther’s every milkmaid running around creating theologies on their every whim.
