Here is the problem with accepting Sola Scriptura. You have just opened the door to private interpretation and its product is over 30.00 diffuse Protestant denominations in the USA. Sola Scripture allows for any prideful interpretation and the history of Sola Scriptura has sanctioned just that type of behavior.

And maybe one of them is right...The fact is, the bible is correct and contains all we need to be Christians...The bible doesn't allow for different intpretations...

The problem is with the Christians who don't like what the bible says, or they don't believe what the bible says...

But the Protestants are very close to each other especially on the doctrinal issues...

The advantage of everyone reading the scriptures and coming up with a personal opinion is that we can see that millions upon millions of individual Christians pretty much all agree as to what God says...That's pretty radical...That proves we are definitely on the right track...God has spoken to each of us in the scriptures and we understand and believe what God is saying...

Your religion on the other hand is so far out there that there is no way the Holy Spirit could be leading anyone...

There are 86,000 Protestant denominations out there and we agree...There is 1 of you and we're so far apart we can't even have a conversation about the bible...And those of you who do chose to study the scriptures, leave your religion...

I'm going to stick with the majority...

The core Protestant beliefs, i.e. those in which all sects claim agreement with, are all beliefs that were first advocated and confirmed by the Church.

It is the tradition of Protestantism to disagree with the Church.

The Church does not claim that Scripture does not contain all we need for salvation, rather it acknowledges that Scripture is not the sole deposit of the Word of God.
