Going beyond what is written and building doctrine upon assumptions will always lead to trouble, regardless of denomination.

“Going beyond what is written and building doctrine upon assumptions will always lead to trouble, regardless of denomination.”

Okay, explain what prophet’s writing Matthew is relying on in Matthew 2:23.

Hm. Then why do you "go beyond what is written" in order to embrace "sola Scriptura", since it's nowhere in Scripture?

And if you embrace "sola fide", you're in an even worse spot, since the only mention of "faith alone" is a CONDEMNATION of that idea by St. James (James 2:24). That is, if you're using the plain sense of Scripture, and not trying to twist it to suit a preconceived belief...
