But the thing that must be done first is to become a Christian - to be Born Again. For without Faith it is impossible to understand the Authority of Christ let alone the Scriptures.
Like Erasmus, he attempts to use the wisdom of the world on the Scriptures.
Things that must be done first such as... sharing the Gospel without a New Testament, writing Gospels and Epistles beginning 20-30 years after Christ's Ascension, identifying which writings are Scripture and bringing these all together into a Biblical Canon over the next 300 years...?
The problem with Sola Scriptura (well, one of them anyway...) is that it presupposes that there can be no Church without the written Word. That is logically untenable since Christ gave us His Church and it was this Church which wrote down its Testament. Before there was the Bible, there was the Church. The Sola Scriptura crowd would have us believe that there was no Church for generations after the Great Commission was given until the Apostles took a break from what they were assigned in Scripture (Baptizing and converting all nations) to do what they were not assigned in Scripture (writing books).
