None of that rationalizes, justifies or validates the heretical concept of Sola Scriptura with which so-called reformists redacted scripture and closed the door to a living and active Holy Spirit. What a shame Protestants deny themselves the entire revealed word of God in the name of the man-made traditions of the so-called reformists.We are not talking about sola scripture.. we are talking about the priesthood which was none existence in the New Testament church. So the new Testament church was not the Roman Catholic church. There was no apostolic succession , no pope and no priesthood
