All limes are a given by God and are profitable for flavor and smoothness: that the Cuba Libre may be perfectly furnished for all good toasts. Now, you want to tell me you only need limes to make a Cuba Libre? SD

I dunno.

My knowledge of Booze extends about thus far:

I enjoy your conversation, SD... but on that analogy, you just lost me entirely.

(sheepish grin). But now, I really must go. best, OP

Well, "Cuba Libre" is just a fancy term for a rum and Coke with lime. The lime juice softens the rum flavor.

I enjoy your conversation, SD... but on that analogy, you just lost me entirely.

The point is that the structure of the sentence exactly mirrors the text from Scripture. One would not read my version and conclude that limes are sufficient for making this cocktail. If the words don't say Scripture is sufficient, and the form/structure of the sentence doesn't logically lead one to conclude it is speaking of sufficiency, then from where does one find Sola Scriptura in this verse?

The answer, of course, is "you don't find it there unless you import it from elsewhere."

Which is an odd thing to do when supporting the idea that the text should speak for itself.
