How do you view Sola Fide view of Scripture, "rigid" or "Dynamic" ?

Reliance upon Scripture alone, without Tradition or the proper authority to interpret it, is un-Christian.
Wrong. It is un-"Roman Catholic Church", not un-Christian.

Without a sole secular leader, or a a sole 'universal' leader over all, most Christian groups agree on enough essentials to get along and even pray for each other. Yes, there's the few who teach 'only as we do' but they aren't mainstream or essentially Christian.

The point of Sola Scriptura is the Bible as the message of God is the sole authority for Christian belief and our understanding of God, His nature and His will. Mr. Luze, if you are comfortable in your position as a faithful Catholic, I have no ill will nor animosity to you. Please continue and serve God as He directs you. However, your understanding is NOT binding on me or any other Christian. (Nor is mine or "their's" binding on you.)

Feel free to do what you feel led to do, but don't get the silly idea you can tell me what I believe.

I don't think the Bible can function as an autonomous authority because authority implies a "who" not a "what". Once we make Christianity about "whats", we lose something fundamental.
