Besides, Sola Scriptura means we have to believe in and follow all of the scriptures. It's all we have for written revelation.

It's not all we have ! There are only scraps as Kosta pointed out before.

You base what you say upon written witnesses of Catholic/Orthodox people who tell you their interpretations of what they thought were originals and who the Catholic's /Orthodox believe was guided by the Holy Spirit

Every one of them believed Jesus was truly present -Body ,Blood,Soul and Divinity in the Eucharist.

Either your belief is satanic or the one's who gave you Bible canon are satanic.

Take your choice.

What else do you have that is the "written revelation of God", equal with scriptures? BTW, is it the Catholic position that the Bible constitutes "scraps", or am I misunderstanding?

I'm sure the men you follow did practice the Eucharist as you say. However, as Kosta also pointed out, many of them wrote things that were not in keeping with the faith. Whole groups of Jews had things completely wrong in the OT, so IF the fact was that the theology of the Eucharist was wrong, then there would be Biblical precedent for a vast majority of people getting it wrong at the same time.

Either your belief is satanic or the one's who gave you Bible canon are satanic.

Well, you can call my beliefs satanic all you want, but I have no need to go there. Besides, I got my Bible canon from God, since it was His revelation to us, not the revelation of men ABOUT God. If you insist that your hierarchy gave us the Bible, then it cannot be "God's Holy word", since you deny God is the giver. It would have to be "man's (something) word". I think I'll stick with Holy, from God. :)

[the Church] believed Jesus was truly present -Body ,Blood,Soul and Divinity in the Eucharist.

Correct. And that's what the Church practiced before the NT was written. For the life of the Church precedes the NT.
