But that is extraneous to Sola Scriptura, don't you see? Sola Scriptura merely posits that God's word is the ultimate guide to doctrine. If some people don't use it and prefer something else, this doesn't render Sola Scriptura--or God's word, for that matter--defective or inadequate!
Likewise, if they do subscribe to the principle that is Sola Scriptura and misunderstand the Bible, that does not invalidate the Bible, nor does it mean that there's anything amiss with the process itself.
You might have a point if: 1) there were an alternative that solved all the problems you think you see with Sola Scriptura and if, 2) The Bible were shown to be hokum and not deserving of being our guide.
I don't get that you are ready to answer "Yes, that's so" to either of those.
Is it the ultimate or the only? While they seem similar, I think they lead to different places and that is my point.
Was not sola scriptura itself presented as an alternative? My point is that it was an unnecessary change - that it did more harm than good as shown by it's fruit.
