What I said and meant was that -- under the doctrine of sola scriptura, which is NOT taught by the RC or EO or OO Christians -- there's no authority to "authorize" scripture. If you insist on sola scriptura...there's no reason even to pay attention to scripture.Oh, but there is. The "ancient" Church, with bishops, priests, deacons, and laity said it was the Word of God. Over 1,000 years of Christianity says it is the Word of God. The Church revealed and codified what was already believed by the laity. There's the Authority. And yes, that includes the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church
