Nowhere in Scripture is there “sola scriptura”.

You really don't want to go down this road.

No where in the Bible is the word Trinity mentioned either....are you going to deny the Trinity?

However, what we do have are the clear words Jesus said to the disciples.....

Now He said to them, “These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.”

45Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,

Luke 24:44-45

Not that He opened their minds to understand "tradition", but He opened their minds to understand what was important....the Scriptures.

We also have the example of the Bereans.

Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so. Acts 17:11

**********

The principle of relying upon Scripture, and only Scripture is crystal clear.

14You, however, continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them, 15and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; 17so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:14-17

When the Bible is read in context it is clear that Scripture is the ultimate source for our Truth. Scripture testifies to that fact. To claim otherwise is to elevate the writings of fallible men to that of infallible Scripture which is what Roman Catholicism has done.

Nowhere in the Bible is a POPE mentioned.

2 Timothy 3:14-17 New International Version (NIV)

 14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, 15 and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

 

 16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God[a] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

 

 

If Sola was good enough for Paul to recommend to Timothy; why isn't it still ok?

So when will you step off of your "sola scriptura" soap box? Or is it you who denies the Holy Trinity since it's not in Scripture.

P.S. The Holy Trinity is in Scripture; apparently you don't know it. It's referenced several times.
