Thanks for your reply. However, before we compare authority we would first have to recognize and identify yours, since it is not scripture alone.
My main point was:
“… if you’re basing you theology/doctrine on the doctrine of scripture alone, you’re bolloxed at the start, since scripture alone negates itself.”
The corollary being that sola scriptura is a tradition.
And, therefore, you are following that tradition, whether it be from an organization, person or yourself.
You could either identify where you get or derive your authority or refute the main point.
You have developed the “doctrine” of sola scriptura.
That is not a doctrine, my FRiend. Any more than breathing is a doctrine. We have been given the Scriptures, we read them, and find that the doctrines of Rome do not appear in them. End of argument.
