Where would a Catholic be without a fast held misunderstanding of what sola Scriptura means no matter how many times they've been corrected?

STRAWM ARGUEMENT FALLACY.

Same challenge to any and all of you.

Pick a definition of Sola Scriptura, any definition and show it to me in the Bible.

And just so we are all clear on the meaning of the word DEFINITIONnoun

1. the act of defining, or of making something definite, distinct, or clear: We need a better definition of her responsibilities.

2. the formal statement of the meaning or significance of a word, phrase, idiom, etc., as found in dictionaries. An online dictionary resource, such as Dictionary.com, can give users direct, immediate access to the definitions of a term, allowing them to compare definitions from various dictionaries and stay up to date with an ever-expanding vocabulary.

3. the condition of being definite, distinct, or clearly outlined:

Just we are all clear I am looking for you to provide me with the definition of your choice of Sola Scriptura and then show me that exact same definition in the Bible.

Given that you all spend so much time in the word it should be no trouble at all.

Please show an infallible source other than scripture for what the apostles taught.

I already have. You asked for chapter and verse that says "the Bible is the supreme authority in all matters of doctrine and practice," but as said, it is abundantly evidenced that the word of God/the Lord was normally written, even if sometimes first being spoken, and that as written, Scripture became the transcendent supreme standard for obedience and testing and establishing truth claims as the wholly Divinely inspired and assured, Word of God.

And which also testifies (Lk. 24:27,44; Acts 17:2,11; 18:28; 28:23, etc.) to writings of God being recognized and established as being so (essentially due to their unique and enduring heavenly qualities and attestation), and thus they materially provide for a canon of Scripture (as well as for reason, the church, etc.) is .

And just so we are all clear on the meaning of the word DEFINITION.. noun 1. ... making something definite, distinct, or clear:...2. the formal statement of the meaning...3. the condition of being definite, distinct, or clearly outlined:

You forgot to include your source: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/definitions. But that is a strawman premise, as neither Caths nor SS adherents hold that for something to be Scriptural then it must then it must be definite, distinct, or clearly outlined or a formal statement, as such would exclude many arguments put forth by your comrades for doctrine we both concur on and especially for those we do not, from perpetual ensured magisterial infallibility to prayer to created beings in Heaven and more.

Therefore once again you are simply engaging in sophistry.

But that SS is taught in Scripture in principal and the collective weight of precepts has been shown to you - to which more can be added by God's grace if object - thus strawmen or sophistry is all that RCs have left. Which would But that SS means all doctreine

Neat trick; try to get us PROTS to produce the source of what YOUR chosen religion thought up!

We merely claim the BIBLE is sufficient (Thanks; Catholics; for saving it for us) for men to be saved.

If you claim it's not; then YOU produce the REQUIRED extras.

(Thanks; Catholics; for saving it for us) though it sure took you long enough before you decided to SHARE.
