The notion of Sola Scriptura is a superstition because it believes in a supernaturality of an object apart from the inspired men who produce the object.

WRONG.

Scripture is quite clear.

Holy Spirit produced Scripture through inspired men. He was quite up to the task. He did not fail at the task.

We believe in Scripture inspired, produced by HOLY SPIRIT through willing obedient, anointed, inspired men.

We are dealing, when speaking of Scripture and Scriptural truth—we are dealing with nothing apart from Holy Spirit’s producing Scripture through said men.

You don’t like it when you believe proties put words in your fingers. PLEASE STOP MINDREADING US AND PUTTING WORDS IN OURS, then.

If it were as clear as you superstitiously insist on believing, we’d have nothing to argue about.

I eschew all the doctrines and traditions of mortal men. Thus Sola Scriptura on the one hand - and Apostolic Succession on the other - are irrelevant to me.

For me, the Scriptures are authenticated by the indwelling Spirit. As my eyes scan over the words, He brings them alive within. Scriptures are not like any other manuscripts in existence, they contain Truth hidden in plain sight, they are alive. IOW, God is the author of them, the mortals involved were scribes.

On the one hand, it is no surprise to me that the Spirit lead the councils to a great canon - on the other hand, I would not presume that the canon is the entire recorded revelation. For instance:

But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, [even] to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. - Daniel 12:4
