>> Example: I think the episode of the Ethiopian Eunuch is all the evidence one needs that “Sola Scriptura” don’t cut the mustard. Obviously you know the story, and obviously you see something else there. And each of us thinks our interpretation, in gross or fine points, is obvious.<<

An obvious total misunderstanding of what Sola Scriptura means. It does NOT mean that no one can help others understand what scripture is saying. It DOES mean that whatever that “teacher” says MUST conform to what scripture is saying and anything that is not in scripture is NOT to be taken as doctrine. Sola Scriptura is different then Solo Scriptura. One would be wise to understand the difference.

And a PERFECT demonstration of the point of my post! I simply could not ask for a better example!

The first sentence of the 6th Article of the Articles of Religion of the Episcopal Church:

Holy Scripture containeth all things necessary to salvation: so that whatsoever is not read therein, nor may be proved thereby, is not to be required of any man, that it should be believed as an article of the faith, or be thought requisite or necessary to salvation.
Talk to me some more about my "obvious total misunderstanding."
