Luther? He invented Sola Scriptura, which isn’t biblical or historical.

I don't know how you can say that with a straight face when documentation is being posted that shows the earliest church fathers believed in 'scripture alone'...

This is the classic Battle of the Begged Question.

The organization says it is the window and the only window through which Christ, and indeed the bible, can be rightly seen.

What do you do with a claim like that. Well if you have nothing to compare it to, you can’t do anything. It is the most powerful one on the scene by definition. But if you find you can meet and accept and be accepted by Christ through the scripture, then suddenly another world opens. Luther didn’t just get a wild hair. He met Christ. He did try to get the church to listen and it wouldn’t.

The success of the evangelical model is the best proof of its fundamental rightness. It does not pretend to give unanimous human answers to a wide range of doctrinal questions. But that is to look at it for the wrong thing. It illustrates how sola scriptura, sola fide actually works and has legs and wings.
