Protestants assault my faith, Orthodox Christianity, and the Roman Catholic faith on the grounds that we establish doctrines with Tradition and settle controversies from it. The truth is, we consider the Bible a part of Tradition.
Therefore, I ask the Sola Scriptura guys to asnwer these questions using *only* the Bible (no appeals to any Tradition).
1). What books belong in the Bible? The table of contents is a modern phenomena. Please quote only Scripture.
2). Where does the Bible teach Sola Scriptura?
3). If it does not, then what good is a doctrine that fails its own test?
4). If it does, is your collection of books identical with that one? If you quote a book written before Revelation, then why do you include Revelation (if you do)?
5). If your references refer to passages like Revelation's prohibitions to add to "this book," then why would you add other books of the Bible to it? It says THIS book (no addition, remember?).
I predict that everyone will have to use tradition.
