There is nothing in the bible that indicates Sola Scriptura.
2 Thessalonians 2:15:
Quote:
So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter.
2 Thessalonians 3:6:
Quote:
Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from any brother who is living in idleness and not in accord with the tradition that you received from us.
1 Corinthians 11:2:
Quote:
I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I have delivered them to you.
John 21:25:
Quote:
But there are also many other things which Jesus did; were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.
The Catholic Church doesn’t claim the false Sola Scriptura. Tradition and Scripture comprise Christianity handed down through 2000+ years.
The wedding at Cana:
“”Do whatever he tells you.” Jesus orders the six water jars used for rites of purification to be filled with water. This He changes into wine and then directs that the wine be drawn out and taken to the chief steward. The latter, not knowing whence the wine came, regards it of superior quality, remarking that, contrary to custom, the bridegroom has not served the good wine first but reserved it till the last.”
Mary’s words are. “Do whatever HE tells you.” She isn’t commanding anything. Mary follows and points to Christ.
Her request was granted not as the simple request of a mother, but granted on the basis of faith in the Divine Son.
It’s a simple and very humble prayer and confidence. A prayer which contains FAITH, SIMPLICITY, HUMILITY and CONFIDENCE which is what a prayer should contain. She didn’t ask him to turn the water into wine. She simply asked the attendants to DO whatever HE SAYS.
Doing whatever God says is the answer to our prayers. Asking is one thing, receiving the answer from God even when it is not what we expect, and having the confidence and faith to accept His answer is what Mary is doing and what we must do in prayer.
“The evangelist concludes the narrative with the words: “This first of his signs Jesus worked at Cana of Galilee; and he manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him.”
Mary always in everything points to her Son, Christ.
