I'm asking a very simple question. If scripture alone as a sole rule of faith is sufficient to establish the truth of Christianity, why are there hundreds of disagreeing sects based upon the bible?

You presuppose a singular interpretive mind for the scripture. To say that the different sects are evidence that scripture alone are insufficient requires that there be an acceptance of a single, inviolate interpretation of the scripture in every detail.

That is the Roman Catholic tradition - an Ex Cathedra mindset, where the "infallible teachings" can never fail or be wrong. Your question cannot be answered in the terms you pose it, because you have presupposed adherence to the RC hierarchical positions on the primacy of teachings of the church.

I've done no such thing. The author of the OP is the one who posed it, and he's not Roman Catholic.
