Marian Dogmas

Non say scripture alone or no councils dogma or interpretation
AND neither does Sola Scriptura

You are determined to present your strawman understanding of Sola Scriptura

ONCE AGAIN :
These are the descriptions/definitions of Sola Scriptura

SS is about the hierarchy of authority.

From Catholic.com
the principle of sola scriptura ("Scripture alone"), according to the sharpest Protestant scholars, means that the Bible is the ultimate authority—above councils and popes and any tradition—but not that no commentary or tradition may be cited or utilized

from New Advent

"The [first] objective [or formal] principle proclaims the canonical Scriptures, especially the New Testament, to be the only infallible source and rule of faith and practice (not the only source)"
" Protestantism, however, by no means despises or rejects church authority as such, but only subordinates it to, and measures its value by, the Bible,"

from James White:
First of all, it is not a claim that the Bible contains all knowledge. The Bible is not exhaustive in every detail. John 21:25 speaks to the fact that there are many things that Jesus said and did that are not recorded in John, or in fact in any book in the world because the whole books of the world could not contain it. But the Bible does not have to be exhaustive to function as the sole rule of faith for the Church. We do not need to know the color of Thomas’ eyes. We do not need to know the menu of each meal of the Apostolic band for the Scriptures to function as the sole rule of faith for the Church.

Secondly, it is not a denial of the Church’s authority to teach God’s truth. I Timothy 3:15 describes the Church as “the pillar and foundation of the truth.” The truth is in Jesus Christ and in His Word. The Church teaches truth and calls men to Christ and, in so doing, functions as the pillar and foundation thereof. The Church does not add revelation or rule over Scripture. The Church being the bride of Christ, listens to the Word of Christ, which is found in God-breathed Scripture.

Thirdly, it is not a denial that God’s Word has been spoken. Apostolic preaching was authoritative in and of itself. Yet, the Apostles proved their message from Scripture, as we see in Acts 17:2, and 18:28, and John commended those in Ephesus for testing those who claimed to be Apostles, Revelation 2:2. The Apostles were not afraid to demonstrate the consistency between their teaching and the Old Testament.

And, finally, sola scriptura is not a denial of the role of the Holy Spirit in guiding and enlightening the Church.

from Wiki
It should be emphasized that this doctrine in no way denies tradition, reason, or experience as sources of truth. There is nothing in Sola Scriptura that eliminates other authorities. What it does say is that there is only one authority that can absolutely bind the conscience, that authority is holy scripture and that all controversies about doctrine and theology must be resolved in the final analysis by scripture.

from Zondervan Academic:
Sola Scriptura declares that only Scripture is our inerrant, sufficient, and final authority for the church, because it is God breathed and divinely inspired (2 Timothy 3:16). In the sixteenth century, this directly contradicted the teachings of the Catholic Church, which elevated tradition and the Pope and magisterium’s authority to the level of Scripture itself.

from crosswalk
God's word has the highest authority for all of life. This does not mean that the Bible is clear on every issue or question we have—the Bible has little to say on how to speak Spanish or the scientific intricacies of rocket science. However, Sola Scriptura means that the Bible is the infallible Word of God, and takes supreme authority over our lives in every area it speaks to. This means that reason, logic, tradition, and experience and valid, but ultimately shall be submitted under scripture as our greatest authority

from Bible info
the Bible alone is the supreme authority for what Christians should believe and practice

The pope was appointed by Christ so obedience to a valid pope is the obedience to Christ
When did any of the Popes have their road to Damascus encounter? When was a even Peter declared to be the Pope?
Isa 22:21-22 matt 28:19
You can ask Ananius over in acts 5:5
Is 22:21-22 and I will clothe him with your robe, and will bind your sash on him, and will commit our authority to his hand. And he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. And I will place on his shoulder the key of the house of David. He shall open , and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.

Is that the scripture the Pope uses to exalt himself? What a self serving perversion of God's word. Let's not start in the middle of a sentence but go back to the beginning of the sentence which will show who this is talking about. 20In that day I will call by servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah , 21 and I will clothe him----

Matt 28:19 Go therefore's and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.


What does that have to do with the Pope?

Acts 5 What does that have to do with the Pope?

Sorry not matt 28:19 but matt 16:18-19
 
Apostolic fathers were taught by the apostles in person

Ignatius

No bishop no church period!

Authority of Christ is in His church and He says so!
Matt 28:18 all authority
Matt 28:19 go teach and baptize all men (nations)
Matt 28:20 with His church

Thks
I didn't ask if Ignatius was taught by the apostles in person. But, who replaced Ignatius. Do you have that succession handy?
