1977 - As a Catholic, I read the New Testament, realized all the additions Catholicism had made over the centuries (hundreds of years after the first apostles died) and became Lutheran. Well, it’s an important year for me!

The very doctrine of sola scriptura itself is a teaching of man.

You're acting like (say) Lutheranism, or the Rev. Bud's Down-Home Old Time Gospel Faith Mission are the original sources of doctrine, and Catholicism and Orthodoxy are offshoots.

It's the other way around.

Here is an online list quite similar to yours from Jesus-Is-Savior.com, and
here is another structured differently, from CARM.org.
