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. Sola Scriptura literally means Scripture alone. That does not mean that the doctrine of Sola Scriptura says that only scripture can be used for the formation of theology. Dictionary definitions do not form theology (see the synonym for venerate to understand).

If you would like to play dictionary games to form theology, then let me lead the way.

LOL! So now Sola Scriptura doesn't actually mean Sola Scriptura? How very Clintonesque. Let me guess, the Holy Spirit guided you to this opinion.
I think I'll become a Protestant, since its fun when you are backed into an intellectual corner, to just change the definitions so that you are right again.
