[Conservative til I die]

As I did on the last thread (and shall continue to do until some of it sinks in), I will point out that this is a false premise. Sola Scriptura does not, REPEAT, DOES NOT believe that the Christian faith should be based exclusively on a book. ONLY PRIMARILY ON THE BOOK.

Whoa whoa whoa. This is a major backtracking. No sir, from my own reading of these threads, almost every Protestant has affirmed that Sola Scriptura is what its name translates to: Scripture alone.

Now you're telling me that it's Prima Scriptura (?) and that other things now do count? Who gets to decide what this "other" stuff that counts is?

Dear Protestants:
Mr. ConservativeTilIDie is having trouble with something. Will each of you please check in with your understanding of sola Scriptura. To be more specific, does sola Scriptura do away with any function for history, tradition, the church, teachers, etc or does it merely place Scripture above all those other helps as the source for our doctrine and way of life?

Thanks.
