Actually, it is. I discovered that 'Sola Scriptura' (as defined
in my article) is not itself scriptural when I was in a church
that taught exactly that. I demonstrated in my article that the
Scriptures *reject* Sola Scriptura.

Since Sola Scriptura (as defined in my article) is self-contradictory,
it really doesn't matter what the result of discarding it is. It has
to be discarded since a) it contradicts itself and even worse, b) it
is itself not supported by Scripture.

The major doctrines of Christianity are NOT taken solely from the
Scriptures, but from the rich tradition of the Church.

I have a lot less problem with the Lutheran position - show me, from
the Scriptures, that I am wrong, and I'll change. After all, that's
how I became Orthodox - by reading the Scriptures.

I'll leave the argument to the thread on TD that Gary is Matthew

Are you trying to speak like a lawyer, using the accusative absolute?
You came out with somthing that contradicts your own beliefs!

More important, if YOU were right, Christ would not have said to the
