**For starters it is unscriptural - it fails its own test.**

There is far more Scripture supporting Sola Scriptura than Mary worship and the entire Roman scheme.

First, the Church does not make the mistake of teaching sola scriptura; so that point is a non sequitur.

Secondly, again, sola scriptura fails its own test. Scripture does not support the doctrine that scripture alone is the sole - sola - rule or guide for doctrine, etc.

Not to mention it is illogical, impossible in practice and doesn’t work.

Other than that, it’s a really good doctrine.

Catholicism is the one that implodes under it's faulty man made traditions.

Come to Lake Geneva where the water is cool and refreshing. Not muddy and turbulent like the Tiber.

[D-fendr]

I see assertions and opinions here. No rebuttal arguments though.

[D-fendr]

Why isn’t Calvinism a “faulty man made tradition”?

[D-fendr]

Or, more fundamentally: Why isn’t Sola Scriptura a “faulty man made tradition”?

Editors or authors? Thomas Aquinas is a great resource because he brings in the wisdom and perspectives of the Early Church Fathers.

[Gamecock]

Pick up and read.

[D-fendr]

Have and do. Sola scriptura ain’t there.
