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.

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.

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?

To be even more specific, how does the doctrine of sola Scriptura, the root of thousands of neo-Christian denominations enrich the Body of Christ, the catholic Church? Are the wide variety of neo-Christian denominations and their respective doctrines part of Gods plan or someone else’s? If it is Gods plan to have many paths leading to him why is the Christian path (with all its variations) the only path? Christ said no man comes to the Father but by Him. Did he mean that literally? Did he mean that only those who have heard his teachings are able to be saved or did he mean that his ministry, death and resurrection opened the gates of Heaven to all people who have his message written on to their hearts be they Christian, Muslim, Jew or Hindu?
