Sola scriptura means "scripture alone." I see you are rejecting the central dogma of the Reformation. Congratulations. Perhaps you can convince some of your Protestant colleagues.

===========================================================

What makes you think you are the authority to determine what Sola Scriptura means to anyone but yourself?

You can break a stone with repeated blows of a hammer but you can't make a truth out of repeated false statements. If you can read, I have already posted more than one definition on this forum. Definitions, btw, which are accepted by most reasonable people.

"Sola Scriptura" does literally mean "Scripture alone." As a battle cry against a monolithic Church it made sense (supposedly) along with the other famous Solas (fides et gratia).

As an accurate term to reflect much of contemporary Protestant thought it needs to be nuanced a bit, as your quoted definitions and those of 808bass have done.

Scripture is not the "only" thing used to form the Christian mind today, in this sense "sola" doesn't make sense.

Scripture is the ultimate (or primary) authority argued to. Authority of the local church, etc. exists but is secondary to that of Scripture. Does that qualify as "Sola"?

I think so. There are different levels of authority but as the primary Scripture stands alone. Sola. Scriptura.

Don't you see, allend? No one can determine what Sola Scriptura means to anyone but himself. But Sola Scriptura itself does not mean that one determines the meaning of scripture strictly on the basis of personal interpretation.
