If you accept authority other than the Bible then you agree that Bible Only is a false principle

Hardly, I said that the Bible Only contains the inspired words of God.

Those words affirm the authority of the church and of true guidance from the Holy Spirit.

I'm having trouble following you on this....

Hardly, I said that the Bible Only contains the inspired words of God.

As in, "only the Bible contains the inspired words of God?" If so, then I don't see how you could square it with this:

Those words affirm the authority of the church and of true guidance from the Holy Spirit.

But if the Holy Spirit "provides guidance," then that's God providing information from a Source other than the Bible.

So ... what is your definition of "Bible Only?" It seems not to match the way the authors use it.

There are many true affirmative statements that can be made with “Bible only” in them. The article presents arguments against certain specific propositions, 565-581 that are characteristic of the principle “Bible Only”, widely adopted by the Protestants since Luther. It makes no argument against any other statement that points to the unique character of the Bible. Do you have a disagreement with the article on its substance?
