Ask Paul When the Bereans had honest questions what did Paul do? He opened scripture When Christ met the disciples on the road to Emmaus what did He fo? He opened scripture to them When Christ rebuked Satan after His temptation what did He do? He quoted scripture The Bible is the revealed word of God I would say any Christian who uses any other source is wrong thinking Unfortunately this is one area where Catholics and protestants will never agree

Our Catholic friends, who claim the RCC gave us the Bible, seem to go out of their way at times to disown the very book they claim to have given us.

Scripture is the only inspired writings we have.

The opinions of the many ECFs, which often contradict not only each other, but official RCC teachings on the various topics, are just that...their opinions.

Every RCC priest, Sunday School teacher, bible study leader, etc puts together their own materials and lessons. They inject their opinion as to what they believe the text says.

We see this on these threads all day.

The problem with "Sola Scriptura" is not with the Scriptura part, but with the Sola part. Biblical doctrine explicitly refutes "Sola Scriptura", and nothing you have written there, and nothing written in Scripture, supports the Sola part. To say that it does, would require ignoring --- just for beginners --- the writings of St. Paul (1 Cor. 11:2, 2 Thess. 2:15, 2 Thess. 3:6, 2 Tim. 2:2) and a great deal more.
