“Sola Scriptura.”
I realize you have more to post, since you used the plural form, but let’s deal with your first overreach.
I do not believe you have ever demonstrated in a post that you understand what sola scriptura means.
Now you have claimed it is a heresie.
OK, PROVE IT IS A HERESY! Yes, I am challenging you to post ANY EVIDENCE THAT SUBSTANTIATES YOUR LUDICROUS CLAIMS. WHERE IS THE EVIDENCE?
Where’s the Beef, NKP_Vet???

Sola Scriptura is Latin for “Scripture Alone,” and what that means has been interpreted a little differently by different Protestants throughout the ages. After all is said and done though, the final definition is what many Protestants today think it means. That is simply this. If a Christian teaching cannot be found written plainly in the black and white pages of the Bible, then it need not be believed or accepted by Christians. Furthermore, Christians themselves have the authority to interpret the Scriptures for themselves without need of any authority outside of Scripture. Now some Protestants take this principle more seriously than others. Some take it more literally than others, but at the end of the day, all of them embrace this principle in some form. Therein lies the problem.
Now I could waste a lot of space here disproving the principle doctrine of Protestantism — Sola Scriptura — but alas I’ve done it before, and many others have done it too. So it will just have to suffice to say that Sola Scriptura is both un-Biblical and illogical. The doctrine can nowhere be found in the Bible, therefore based on its own premise, it disproves itself. Furthermore, plenty of Biblical texts can be referenced that call upon Christians to believe in oral Tradition as well as written Scripture (1st Corinthians 11:2; 2nd Thessalonians 2:25; 2nd Thessalonians 3:6; John 21:25). The Scriptures plainly condemn personal and private interpretation of the Bible apart from the established Tradition of the Church (2nd Peter 1:20; 2nd Peter 3:15-16). Finally, it is the Bible itself that calls the Church, not the Scriptures, the “pillar and foundation of truth” (1st Timothy 3:15). This should be enough for any level-headed Protestant, not emotionally attached to Martin Luther or his teachings, to see that something is wrong with Sola Scriptura. However, it is rare to find such a Protestant, for most will become highly defensive before getting this far into this article. We have to remember that Protestantism is also at its core a very emotional religion. It is founded on the highly emotional and prideful state of “who are you to tell me what to believe!” and “no man but Christ Himself has spiritual authority over me!” This is the emotional state it takes to embrace Sola Scriptura. In the end, Protestantism is a highly individualist religion, and it is this very thing that gave it birth, that will ultimately be it’s end. For I do not believe Protestantism will survive the 21st century.
Not survive the 21st century!?! How could Protestantism be dead within 88 years? Yes, that is what I am saying. Within 88 years, by January 1st, 2100, there will be nothing left of the Protestantism we know today. It will essentially be extinct. What will have killed it? The answer is simple — moral relativism. You see, in a religion where there is no real authority other than an inanimate object (a book) that can no more interpret itself than it can read itself, the final authority on any religious matter is none other than the individual practitioner himself. In previous centuries, Protestants primarily fought over doctrinal issues, related to such things as: salvation, predestination, ecclesiology, eschatology, etc. But as Michael Voris pointed out in the second video above, something happened in 1930 that shaped the rapid decline of Protestantism, and in my opinion, ultimately sealed its fate. That something was artificial birth control. In 1930, the Anglican Communion led the way toward accepting what had previously been condemned by all Protestant denominations as a moral evil — contraception. Within just 30 years, every single Protestant denomination had followed suit, and artificial birth control became accepted within the Protestant world.
Prove it’s a heresy? Where in the Bible are the words, sola scriptura??
There you go!
RCs have posted the same Staples article on the issue 3 or 4 times already, and which was refuted more than once, but per usual, the papist propaganda continues to be published.
Except another.
