Bible Alone? Sola Scriptura?

It goes against the Bible!

Scripture tells us that Christ left a Church with divine authority to govern in His name (Matthew 16:13-20, 18:18, Luke 10:16). Chris promised that this church would last until the end of time (Matthew 16:18, 28:19-20, John 14:16). The bible also tells us that Sacred Tradition is to be followed along side Sacred Scripture (2 Thessalonians 1:15, 3:6).

The Bible tells us that we need more than just the Bible alone. The Bible confirms that not everything Jesus said and did is recorded in scripture (John 21:25) and that we must also hold fast to oral tradition, the preached word of God (1 Corinthians 11:2; 1 peter 3:15-16) we are warned that Sacred Scripture can be very hard to interpret, which strongly implies the need for authority of  interpreter (The catholic church) finally, 1 Timothy 3:15 reassures us that the church is “the pillar of bulwark of the truth”

It goes against History!

The history of the Bible attests that it was the Catholic Church  exercising its Apostolic authority that determined what is and is not scripture. We need the authority of the Catholic church to tell us what belongs on the Bible (1Timothy 3:15) 

It goes against common sense!

Any written document meant to play a crucial role in determining how people live their lives must have a living continuing authority to guard guarantee and officially interpret it. Otherwise chaos Reigns as everyone interprets the document according to his own personal whim. For example the founding fathers of the United States of America put together a magnificent document to be authoritative in determining how this country would be governed, the US Constitution. They established a living continuing authority to guard, guarantee and officially interpret the Constitution: the Supreme Court. The founding fathers knew that without a living authority of the Constitution would lead to endless chaos as everyone acted as his own interpreter. God certainly has more wisdom than the founding fathers of the United States of America. He would never have left a written document to be the Only Rule of faith without a living authority to guard  and officially interpret it. The splintering of Christianity and to 80,000 denominations biblis the direct fruit of the Bible-alone Doctrine This idea does not come from God and was unheard 1500 years before the Reformation
