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).
"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.
So you do not think the New Testament is God breathed? If you think it is, how can you possibly say the writers of same were not 'assigned' that task?
That grotesque caricature of Sola Scriptura is so ludicrous I can't tell if it is just ignorance or willful misrepresentation.
For starters, NO ONE denies that the Gospel was at first preached orally by the Apostles, or that the Church began at Pentecost.
Cordially,
