I'm no longer interested.read my post and come in and discuss it.
You are making too much out of nothing.So it is not scripture "alone" or "Sola scriptura". The first primary rule is the Spirit in faith in the new creation and to live and move and understand from the new creation. This is the rule. The scriptures are a secondary rule to this though in perfect harmony with them and the Spirit will never contradict what he has spoken in scripture through men.
"15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. 16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God."(Galatians 6:15,16 KJV)
I would never say the primary rule of faith and practice is nothing.You are making too much out of nothing.
You do not understand the sola scriptura position. You are attacking your own misunderstanding of it.I would never say the primary rule of faith and practice is nothing.
This becomes important when some disregard immediate revelation of God and His working and speaking and leading in the spirit today and all the gifts that accompany this walk in Christ and instead many are drawn to excellency of speech and wisdom of man and a more natural rule than the supernatural.
does "sola" mean "alone". If so then you do not understand what is actually being said.You do not understand the sola scriptura position. You are attacking your own misunderstanding of it.
You are misconstruing the entire subject.does "sola" mean "alone". If so then you do not understand what is actually being said.
many will try to escape the consequence of things said but the truth of what they say is clear in the words.
the word "ALONE" is the issue.
This is somewhat similar to faith alone as well. Some say we are saved by faith alone. But scripture says we are "saved by grace". That's another discussion.
Not so as I showedYou are misconstruing the entire subject.
I hold dear the end of any authority other than scripture which means no churches, no clergy, no theological school elitism we should only read and hold dear the Bible itself. We are all equal as 'clergy' and if we get together to worship we are all equal. The only authority is Scripture and it stands alone.
We're all equal as clergy? And the Bible alone?
Very interesting ideas... but how come so many, many Bible-alone Christians had to ask their pastors on different issues???

Your ideas wouldn't work in the early Church (and today). The New Testament didn't exist until the 4th century, even after the Bible canon was established, books were so expensive that very few could afford it. And very few people could read at that time.
So where is the church? I believe God's truly faithful ones are scattered in few numbers over the Earth.
