I THINK my postings on authority have been somewhat clear.

Regardless of any context one is in . . . the bottom line ends up . . . one is responsible to GOD AND GOD ALONE.

When we face God, it will not wash that we blame earthly authority for our failings.

And, if one really doubts that GOD'S WORD directly and via His Spirit are inadequate to be supreme, sufficient, efficacious . . . then I suggest that such doubts have nothing to do with reality or with proper Godly authority but instead come from the pit of hell.

All I have asked is to be shown where in Scripture it teaches that Scripture alone is to be our authority. So far, you have failed to provide any Scriptures that show that Scripture alone should be our authority. The obvious conclusion is that you do not know of any verses that teach that Scripture alone is to be our authority. If you do not know of any verses that teach that Scripture alone is to be our authority concerning God, then by affirming 'sola scriptura' you are letting a mere "tradition of men" govern your thinking about God.
