The problem with Sola Scriptura (well, one of them anyway...)

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

No, God and His Word (The Scriptures) are one and the same.

Argh, just another Sophistry attack on the Bible.

Close... but not quite. Jesus is the Word made flesh. He instructed His Apostles to make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This is Tradition (with a capital T) that was handed directly from Christ to the Apostles. We only know of it because it was recorded years later. However, nowhere was it recorded that they were to write Scripture. If we take Sola Scriptura literally, that would invalidate it!

We follow the Word, which is Christ, in Spirit, in Scripture and in the flesh. We do not elevate one part to being the whole part.
