“Since that is a simple question, my point is this. The notion of Sola Scriptura is false. It was not a belief of the Early Church nor can you find it in the NT. “
1. You don’t seem to understand what Sola Scriptura actually means.
2. Sola Ecclesia isn’t in the Bible.
I did not say sola ecclesia was in the bible. All I did was point out, using one of the work of Pelikan, one of the best “Patristic and Church History Scholars of the 20th century” to make the point there was No Sola Scriptura and I also made the point there was No Sola Tradition.
And for the record, I do understand what Sola Scriptura means. I see it in action on this forum and have seen it here for years. I see in in action in the world right now. I have seen it in action throughout history. I can see quite plainly what it means.
And for the record, the Catholic Church does not teach Sola Ecclesia in the way I think you are suggesting that is the Church can set itself up and above BOTH 1) Scripture and 2)Tradition. It is like a 3 legged Chair, it is the Church where both the Scripture and Tradition are all linked into One [sort of like the Trinity so to speak] and together the Church ensures that Scripture and Tradition are protected and the Apostolic Faith is preserved and passed on.
So I don’t try to put Scripture, Tradition and the Church into some sort brawl and fistfight among each other. They are unified because all of them, the Apostolic Tradition, the Scriptures, which are part of that Tradition, and the Church, all have there source and origin in CHrist.
