It doesn’t do much for the 16th century notion of sola scriptura either.

Your dating is off by several hundred years, maybe as much as 1,300 years. You do know of Wycliffe and Hus don't you? The Early Chuch Fathers? Unless of course you have your own definition of Sola Scriptura.

Sola Scriptura

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Thanks for that terrific link and the evidence of the doctrine of "Sola Scriptura" from a variety of "early church fathers."

A DEFENSE OF "SOLA SCRIPTURA"

"...The earliest Christians had the Apostles with them. The Apostles wrote down the revelation, so that it might be available when they were gone...

"Whatever our Saviour would have us read of his actions and sayings he commanded his apostles and disciples, as his hands, to write." -- Augustine, (De Consensu Evang. 1:ult.)...

The doctrine of Sola Scriptura, far from being an invention of Martin Luther, is taken for granted by St. Thomas Aquinas, and is a point agreed upon by the writers of the patristic age..."

AMEN!

I do so love being preached to by Western Protestants, especially when its about the Fathers. Tell me what bible college teaches about 3rd century sola scriptura.

“You do know of Wycliffe and Hus don’t you?”

Couple of 14th century Western heretics as I remember it, products of the Roman Church. Heresy is pretty common. Before the Great Schism it infected the entire Church, but most especially in the East. After the Great Schism the problem moved West were it appears to have taken root and flourished, especially since the 16th century.

Sola Scriptura”

Proof texting the Fathers?!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL; OR, is there a consensus patrum on sola scriptura and if so, what is it? :)
