This is an edit because one more thought occurred to me. You can say that the early protestants shouldn't have listened to the writers before them ... but who do you think you got 'sola scruptura' from in the first place?
I think each word in the bible was inspired by God and has a meaning attached to the words. And the Bible does not contain any private interpretations of men like Origen (any man). That kind of idea would spell out Blaspheming the Holy Spirit. . accrediting the work of our unseen God to mankind seen.
If every word is inspired it would include the cannon (The whole or perfect.).God moving men of old to both will and perform His good pleasure in them.
2 Peter 1:19-21 King James Version (KJV)
We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
Because the Protestants sought after the Spirit of Christ the anointing Holy Spirit or teacher that worked in them the reformation like the first century reformation(Hebrew 9) it performed its work in the heart of mankind.
If you would look at the two reformations compare them side by side .The first century and the fifteenth century or any time period its easy to see that all cases the law of men (Oral traditions) I heard it through the grape vine tied to make the law of faith (as it is written without effect calling it a heresy so that men might continue to seek the approval of the things seen .The pagan foundation out of sight out of mind. Jesus said they have received their reward (15 minutes of false pride.)
Paul understood who he was to seek after . The same thing men call heresy. therefore rather than the law of the fathers make the law of our God (All things written in the law and the prophets )or called sola scriptura with out effect .it caused them to walk away in unbelief no faith making the law of the fathers without effect. In that way it is impossible to seek the approval of two Good teaching Masters as Lord.
Acts24:13 Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me. But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
They worshipped or venerated the fathers oral traditions as many gods, after the gods of philosophy . or private interpretations as personal commentaries of men
