There is nothing in the bible that says we should only believe stricly what is written in the Bible alone.

I think this might be where RC's get off track about Sola Scriptura. There are two understandings of the term.

First, that all that is necessary to come to Faith in Jesus Christ is contained in Scripture. Second, that no doctrine, dogma, religious practice should be followed if it is not clearly found to be supported in Scripture. It is the second definition that has caused all the angst because it supersedes any claimed authority of any body of clerics.

Yet sola scriptura is a doctrine, dogma or religious practice that is not clearly found to be supported in Scripture.

The irony is blinding.

...in favor of the claimed authority of a body of iconoclasts.

Yes, but that can happen at any time, even at the time of death.

Where is that in the bible??????
