21 Reasons to Reject Luther's Tradition of Sola Scriptura:

1. The Doctrine of Sola Scriptura is not taught anywhere in the Bible

2. The Bible Indicates that In Addition to the Written Word, we are to accept Oral Tradition

3. The Bible Calls the Church and not the Bible the "Pillar and Ground of the Truth [Jesus]."

4. Christ tells us to submit to the Authority of the Church

5 Scripture itself states that it is insufficient of itself as a teacher, but rather needs an interpreter.

6. The first Christians did not have a Bible

7. The Church produced the Bible not vice-versa

8. The idea of the Scripture's Authority existing apart from the authority of the Teacher Church is utterly foreign to the Early Church.

9. Heresiarchs and heretical movements based their doctrines on Scripture interpreted apart from Tradition and the Magisterium.

10. The Canon of the Bible was not settled until the 4th Century.

11. An "Extra-Biblical" Authority Identified the Canon of the Bible.

12. The Belief that Scripture is "Self-Authenticating" Does Not Hold Up under Examination

13. None of the Original Biblical Manuscripts is Extant.

14. The Biblical Manuscripts Contain Thousands of Variations

15. There Are Hundreds of Bible Versions.

16. The Bible Was Not Available to Individual Believers until the invention of the printing press in the 15th Century.

17. The Doctrine of Sola Scriptura Did Not Exist Prior to the 14th Century.

18. The Doctrine of Sola Scriptura Produces Bad Fruit, Namely, Division and Disunity.

19. The Doctrine of Sola Scriptura Does Not Allow for a Final, Definitive Interpretation of any given Passage of Scripture.

20. The Protestant Bible Is Missing 7 Entire Books

21. The Doctrine of Sola Scriptura Had its Source in Luther’s Own Emotional Problems.

BWAHAHAHA......

Are Catholics THAT desperate to denigrate and undermine the inherent authority of the very God breathed, Holy Spirit inspired Word of God that they will go to those kind of lengths to disqualify it?

That screams of desperation if ever I saw it.

Did God REALLY say....?????

2. The Bible Indicates that In Addition to the Written Word, we are to accept Oral Tradition

You mean like Catholics accept Jewish Oral Tradition aka the Talmud? Note that this article is found on the same apologetics website that the "21 Reasons to Reject" article is hosted on. Reads like a "hate site" to me.

You've left out the most important:

Rome teaches the TRUTH and we MEAN it!
