To: Always Right

Unless I understood you correctly, unless something is specifically mentioned in the Bible it is an invalid concept (your eg. no mention of orthodox). I assume then that you can readily document where the Bible specifically states sola scriptura.

No, but if it is in conflict with the Bible, it certainly is.

"To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them." (Isaiah 8:20)

Logically, if agreement with God's words is what arbitrates rightness or wrongness in belief and proclamation, then this would seem to suggest that those words only are authoritative, not man-made "church doctrine".
