4) Where in the Bible is God's Word restricted only to what is written down?

It doesn't, that I'm aware of. But sola scriptura doesn't make that claim. Although many who misunderstand it do think it means that.

12) If the books of the New Testament are "self-authenticating" through the ministry of the Holy Spirit to each individual then why was there confusion in the early Church over which books were inspired, with some books being rejected by the majority?

To which I will answer "Why did the Fathers get it wrong?" If Irenaeus and Jerome are so authoritative, why didn't they get it right for us? If the RCC existed from the beginning, why did they have a hard time establishing a Canon? Surely their hierarchy was fully developed and they could have dealt easily with such a problem.
