Maybe you should point your questions to those who fill in the blank of Sola Scriptura.

We tend to leave those unanswered.

Most Protestants find it abhorant to make statements such as "it COULD have happened this way" and then to build upon them.

We prefer to say "it COULD have happened this way" and "it MIGHT have happened this other way" or even "it POSSIBLY didn't happen at all" and just leave the UNKNOWN what it is: unknown.

Leave those sola scriptura unanswered? I agree.

Most Protestants find it abhorant to make statements such as "it COULD have happened this way" and then to build upon them.

That is a pretty humorous statement as Protestanism is built on filling in the blanks or actually negating what isn't a blank.

We prefer to say "it COULD have happened this way" and "it MIGHT have happened this other way" or even "it POSSIBLY didn't happen at all" and just leave the UNKNOWN what it is: unknown.

Like with these, for example?

  1. The books belonging in the Bible

  2. Sola Scriptura

  3. Sola Fide

  4. Sacraments (or not)

  5. Predestination (or not)

  6. The bread and wine do not become the body and blood of Christ (or do)
