“If the Word which was inspired by the Holy Spirit is insufficient when we have so many examples in the Bible of people appealing to the Word, we have Jesus appealing to the Word in His dealings with Satan, then you’re going to appeal to man-made “rules” and expect people to believe they are superior to the Holy Inspired Word???”
Does anything you just said prove - or even suggest - that the Bible teaches even once that sola scriptura is true? No. For some reason, Protestant anti-Catholics repeatedly create false arguments:
1) Denying sola scriptura - a false doctrine from the 16th century - is not a denial of scripture, nor its inspiration, nor inerrancy, nor its importance, nor its value.
2) The fact that people are portrayed - and even Jesus is portrayed - as referring to scripture, proving points with scripture, and testing doctrine with scripture does not mean that they relied on sola scriptura, knew about the false doctrine of sola scripture coming 1500 years later, or ever taught sola scriptura.
3) To falsely claim that something that does not fit in with your latter-day heretical Protestant understanding of Christianity must then be an “appeal to man-made “rules”” is simply nonsense. The same goes for “they are superior to the Holy Inspired Word” rubbish.
It must be fun being you.
If Scripture is not the sole source for what the apostles taught would you please show where the apostles taught the assumption of Mary. Paul did say that if anyone taught a different gospel than they did we were to consider them accursed.
Yes.
2 Timothy 3:14-17 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. ALL Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
The Holy Spirit right here tells us that Scripture itself is adequate to THOROUGHLY equip EVERY man in order to be COMPLETE.
It's enough because God said it was enough.
It's not inadequate because the Catholic church says it's inadequate.
Simple fact. Thank you.
