I didn't say I had posted a lengthy detailed argument - just that the
statment was being repeated.

If you are unable and incapable of interpreting the Scriptures, then
you can't possiby derive doctrine from them. In other words, if
your fundamental premise is that man is incapable of undestanding
the Scriptures, how then do you propose to know what they say???

That aside, the clear facts of the matter is that the Scriptures
themselves refute 'Sola Scriptura' as defined in my original post:

We teach that the Bible constitutes the only infallible rule of
faith and practice

In plain english: 'Sola Scriptura' is NOT scriptural.

Try this test: define the canon of Scriptures using nothing but
Scipture, with no reference to anything else. After all, per
the above definition, reference to anything else introduces error
and thus cannot be taken as dogma.

If you don't agree with the above definition of "Sola Scriptura" then
please explicate what you DO blieve it means.

I think we do a fine job of creating our own variety of hells here on
earth. Until I learn to follow Jesus by giving to God all that I have
and all that I am, I am condemned by my own choices to suffer. Whether
I continue to suffer after death in a different incarnation in this
plane or in one called "Hell" doesn't really matter, does it?

The direction to the kingdom of Heaven, which Jesus promised two
thousand years ago was "at hand," is not toward the future but toward
personal sacrifice.
