Search the Scriptures..

I have a great deal, with the Holy Spirit even. And I disagree fundamentally with what your conclusions.

For now, I'm trying to focus in the general sense on pure practicality of how True Christ and True Christianity is to be known among all the competing Sola Scripturists.

How does Sola Scriptura work? It's not working in our case, or in the cases cited above.

How can you say it works? I honestly don't get how.

I have already said.

John 16:13
But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.

When Christ spoke, when the Apostles spoke, they pointed not to tradition but to Scripture.

Consider the following

Daniel 9:2
in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood from the Scriptures,...

Matthew 21:42
Jesus said to them, "Have you never read in the Scriptures:

Matthew 22:29
Jesus replied, "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.

Mark 12:10
Haven't you read this scripture:

Luke 4:21
and he began by saying to them, "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."

Luke 24:27
And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.

Luke 24:32
They asked each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?"

Luke 24:45
Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures.

John 2:22
After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the Scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.

John 5:39
You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me,

John 7:38
Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him."


John 19:37
and, as another scripture says, "They will look on the one they have pierced."

John 20:9
(They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.)

Acts 1:16
and said, "Brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit spoke long ago through the mouth of David concerning Judas, who served as guide for those who arrested Jesus—

Acts 17:2
As his custom was, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures,

Acts 17:11
Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.

Acts 18:28
For he vigorously refuted the Jews in public debate, proving from the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.


Romans 4:3
What does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness."

Romans 10:11
As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame."


Romans 11:2
God did not reject his people, whom he foreknew. Don't you know what the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah—how he appealed to God against Israel:

Romans 15:4
For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

1 Corinthians 15:3
For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance : that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, (Incidentally, this is the first creed)

Galatians 3:8
The Scripture foresaw

Galatians 3:22
But the Scripture declares

Galatians 4:30
But what does the Scripture say?

1 Timothy 4:13
Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching and to teaching.

2 Timothy 3:15
and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

2 Timothy 3:16
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,

James 2:23
And the scripture was fulfilled

James 4:6
But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."

1 Peter 2:6
For in Scripture it says:

2 Peter 1:20Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. 21For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

2 Peter 3:16
He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.
