I'm not sure of what YOU mean by the doctrine of sola Scripture

Give me your definition of sola scriptura, and let me know if you believe in it?

First I don't define the doctrine but I think among those who do this is pretty comprehensive discussion:

“What Do We Mean by
Sola Scriptura?
by Dr. W. Robert Godfrey
A definitive and working description of the Protestant doctrine of “Sola Scriptura”; the Scriptures, alone.
www.the-highway.com/Sola_Scriptura_Godfrey.html”

Some parts I would obviously and easily agree with. Euell Gibbons said many parts of a pine tree are edible but agreeing with him doesn't mean I'd swallow the whole tree. Neither do I accept the whole of sola Scripture without qualification as I noted twice already.

On the other hoof,

The traditions Jesus condemned were those that violated the Scriptures or the plain operation of God's spirit.

The use of wine at the passover meal was no part of the law or in use originally but had become a tradition, one that Jesus saw no reason not to follow, as an example.

As I said too, make of it what you will.
