Jvette:Scripture never claims that ALL of Truth is contained within itself. Instead, Scripture says that ALL that is Scripture is true and beneficial for our salvation.

mm:Hello!! Nobody ever said anything but that.

mm:You guys claim that all the time.

Show me where......

Any of the references to sola scriptura. Or solo; which are rarer.

For a start, you can go through my posting history to find it, although you will be wasting your time because I NEVER said that. But look away.....

You've never claimed sola or solo?

This has been posted for Catholics before but since you apparently missed it the first several times, here it is again.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sola_scriptura

Sola scriptura (Latin ablative, "by scripture alone") is the doctrine that the Bible contains all knowledge necessary for salvation and holiness. Consequently, sola scriptura demands that only those doctrines are to be admitted or confessed that are found directly within or indirectly by using valid logical deduction or valid deductive reasoning from scripture. However, sola scriptura is not a denial of other authorities governing Christian life and devotion. Rather, it simply demands that all other authorities are subordinate to, and are to be corrected by, the written word of God. Sola scriptura was a foundational doctrinal principle of the Protestant Reformation held by the Reformers and is a formal principle of Protestantism today (see Five solas).

Nobody has ever said any differently.

As a matter of fact, Scripture itself says that everything we need to know for faith and salvation can be found in it, even more specifically, the book of John.

John 20:30-31 30 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

John himself admits that not everything that Jesus did was recorded,

BUT

the things that were chosen to be written down were done so so that someone could believe on Jesus for salvation.

This is the apostle John, You know one of Jesus closest confidants........

Now about that claim that you made earlier, you still have plenty of time to provide links to specific posts stating as such.
