No it doesn’t. It assumes the ability of the living Christ to shepherd his fallible sheep infallibly through Scripture and the Holy Spirit working in tandem in the lives of genuine believers. Institutional superstructures are nice if you can have them, but what does God need that any man can supply? Nothing. Run whatever arguments you like against Sola Scriptura, but any argument that presumes a weakness in God’s ability to accomplish the building of his own church on his own terms using his own instrumentalities will find no quarter with me.

“Institutional superstructures are nice if you can have them, but what does God need that any man can supply? Nothing.”

God chose to build his Church. How anyone can argue that God choosing to build his own Church equates to God needing to build his Church is beyond me.

You might as well argue that the Great Commission means that God is unable to spread his Word, except through the words of the Apostles.
