Now, how about providing us with your definition of sola scriptura, the one whcih allows you to read your bible and pass your private judgement on the content within, because unless you're norming dogma, the definition in post #11 is not for you.
Impossible. No such definition of the practice exists.
See post 497 (provided here for you...., in response to you stating the identical same thing)
You won't find that because there is no such definition (except in the imagination of Catholics and Mormons).
On the OTHER issue, I AGREE with you. Self insisting that self exclusively is the sole, unaccountable, authoritarian interpreter of Scripture is unbiblical, wrong and dangerous. But of course, there is only one main denomination that does what we both reject: Yours. The RC Denomination. See what it itself insists about it itself in the latest edition of the ever-changing Catechism of it itself # 85. Then spend all the rest of your days on Earth and in Purgatory searching every other Catechism of every other denomination on the planet for another denomination stating what yours does, what we both reject. You won't find one (*), no matter how long you live or spend in Purgatory, no matter how hard you search - you won't find another because there is no other. Just yours. Just the RC Denomination. Uniquely, exclusively, solely, singularly, individually - just it. You only are condemning your own denomination in the Catechism it itself wrote about it itself, #85.
But let's return to the actual definition. And perhaps leave your condemnation of the RC Denomination's insistence of it itself for it itself of being the only unaccountable, authoritarian interpreter to another day and thread?
Thank you.

* Actually, the early LDS did the same thing, but officially abandoned that over a century ago, leaving the RCC alone in what you condemn. And I do not include here the "cults" just denominations largely regarded as Christian (you will find "cults" doing this - but lets leave them out of the discussion).
