“Quite true. They really have no idea what they believe and they are faced with the inconvenient FACT that if “sola scriptura” was legitimate ALL Protestants would be Lutherans. Their theology is based on the inane assumption that the Holy Spirit correctly allows their own sect to interpret Scripture while tricking each of the other thousands of sects”

So true. Then they are lulled into finding select pieces os Scripture that support them while ignoring those that don’t. Not to mention that sola scriptura isn’t even supported by the Bible itself. That’s gotta be hard to wrap your head around, dodging the truth continually.

Not only is it not mentioned, it is specifically warned against:

15 And account the longsuffering of our Lord, salvation; as also our most dear brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, hath written to you:

16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are certain things hard to be understood, which the unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction. 17 You therefore, brethren, knowing these things before, take heed, lest being led aside by the error of the unwise, you fall from your own steadfastness.
-- 2 Peter 3:15-17

That’s what I don’t get, Scripture alone, unsupported by Scripture alone. It is just plain unbelieveable and nonsensical.
