As I thought. Caths can’t defend their position without having to deflect. The clear teaching of Jesus appealing to scripture establishes the precedent for relying upon the Word.

“As I thought. Caths can’t defend their position without having to deflect.”

As I thought, anti-Catholic Protestants can’t defend their heretical position - sola scriptura - with any actual evidence form scripture. This not only shows the doctrine is unscriptural by their own standards, but also the hypocritical nature of Protestant anti-Catholics.

“The clear teaching of Jesus appealing to scripture establishes the precedent for relying upon the Word.”

Except that Jesus did not only rely on scripture, the scriptural authors did not rely solely on scripture, and no verse of scripture says what you just said. Add to that the fact that no where in scripture is the canon actually defined and you can see how easily sola scriptura becomes entirely unworkable from a theological and logical stand point.
