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.

Thanks for your reply.

However your reply assumes the doctrine sola scriptura: Your conclusion is valid only if sola scriptura is valid.

Which it is not since it negates itself.

You would still need to refute the main point in order for your conclusion to be accepted as proven or true.

Who gave you the Scriptures?

Inerrant documents are only inerrant if infallibly interpreted. Are you claiming that you are interpreting them infallibly?

Are each of the 33,000 Protestant denominations (the actual number is not important) that do not agree with YOU from hell too?

Is there any common ground between your belief system and Catholicism?

Do you agree 100% with the Credos (Creeds) that preceded the Scripture of the New Testament? (The Old Roman Creed, the Nicene Creed, the Athanasian Creed)?
