Hi Anna,
My comment regarding being patronizing was in response to LexMundi's comment. You had reasonanably summarized that the consensus was that we on this board believed in primacy of Scripture. LexMundi's decided that the reason for our consensus was that we didn't understand the issue as he did as demonstrated by one article. BTW, my view is that of primacy. As I indicated, IMHO, the term "sola scriptura" has changed meaning from the ECF's to the Reformation fathers to its use in the 20th and 21st centuries.
I apologize for an offense or confusion.

Probably owing to a misunderstanding of what sola scriptura means. See this.

Mark,
I'm so sorry my response sounded patronizing. I didn't assume you don't understand. I was actually agreeing, not disagreeing. Also, I am an Anglican too; and I'm not a fan of Luther.
The reason I started this thread is because on another forum (AF); I was told, by fellow Anglicans, the Reformers defined Sola Scriptura, especially Luther, the founder of all of our five solas; and that Luther, as the father of it all, must be taken with grave respect and extreme seriousness. I disagreed, which didn't go over very well.
So, I wanted to see what other Anglicans think about the 5 Solas and Sola Scriptura in particular.
I should have made my position more clear. I hope this post clears that up.
Peace,
Anna
