Now *that's* sola scriptura. :)

How?

And I think it illustrates how it can lead to some pretty absurd results (not talking here about you other sola scriptura folks!).

God did not establish either Easter nor Christmas and they both contain pagan elements. There is no Scriptural support for either holiday.

There is historical evidence for the pagan elements.

In what way does CB's stand on Easter and Christmas qualify as an example of sola Scriptura?

In distinguishing between "nothing but what is in scripture" and "nothing contradicting scripture." There's no Easter in scripture but it doesn't contradict it (your interpretation may vary). So sola in that sense.

Thanks for your reply.
