Sola Scriptura is a self-refuting, illogical theory which, aside from refuting itself, is refuted in scripture. Sola Scriptura refutes itself because the very idea of Sola Scripture isn't found in the Bible. That is the biggest problem with the theory. No Protestant heretic can get around this, no matter how dishonest they may be.

The next point I'd like to discuss is the "logic" of Sola Scriptura. There is none. The Bible as a group of Books did not even come into existence and end up being settled canonically until well after (a few centuries) the death of Christ. If the Bible didn't exist, how could the early Christians and Church Fathers have possibly said "Scripture/The Bible Alone"? Sacred Tradition according to 2 Thes. 2:15 (which the foolish Protestants denounce as "traditions of men") is what reigned before the Bible ever existed. It is not possible to explain these away, unless you're clearly of bad will and refuse to see it.

Then of course there's the fact that the idea is refuted in scripture. In Apocalypse 22:18-19 we read:

"18 For I testify to every one that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book: If any man shall add to these things, God shall add unto him the plagues written in this book. 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life[/u], and out of the holy city, and from these things that are written in this book.

If people  add things to what God has taught... God will send him plagues. If people take away from what God has written, he'll take their names out of the book of life (exclusion from Heaven).

That does not sound good for the Protestant heretics. Unfortunately though, it does get much worse. In 2 Peter 1:20 we read:

"Understanding this first, that no prophecy of scripture is made by private interpretation."

Protestants do not take heed to the words of St. Peter. Sadly, it does get worse. In Matthew 18:19, we read:

"And if he will not hear them: tell the Church. And if he will not hear the Church, let him be to thee as the heathen and publican."

If Protestants were to have subsisted in the Apostolic times, they would have been rightfully rebuked by the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul as manifest heretics. They refuse to hear the Church on anything (despite claiming to believe in the Church) and defer to their own private interpretation. They do not defer to the authoritative teachings of the Catholic Church, her Magisterial authority, the saints, Doctors, Church Fathers, etc.

Alas however.. I must say that things get EVEN WORSE for Protestants, as the death blow must inevitably be delivered to this false notion of "Sola Scriptura". In 1 Corinthians 11:2 we read:

"Now I praise you, brethren, that in all things you are mindful of me: and keep my ordinances as I have delivered them to you."

Oh look.. St. Paul is praising people for having kept to what he told them.. Not of what "Scripture Alone" told them. How unfortunate for Sola Scriptura. The death blow has been delivered. St. Paul is contradicting the notion of Sola Scriptura completely here, proving the point that it is false. :dwarf:

No form of witchcraft  :gandalf: will ever resurrect Sola Scriptura from the dead. All Protestants can do is worship it and hope that it is true (which it is not). I hope that one day the heretics will be united to the bosom and unity of the Catholic Faith, and will have the zeal for the true faith that many of them do for their false religions.

Your post made me think about my dad. My dad goes to a Vatican 2 Church but he attends a Protestant Religious group one day a week. I challenged my dad about his religious group needing to be Traditional Catholic because in the Bible  it is written where Jesus builds his Church upon the rock of Peter. My dad says his group will not go there. They will not even deal with certain scripture.

If Protestants can't make their Heresies fit in the Bible they will just ignore those scripture passages that expose their heresies while interpreting the rest of the Bible any way they want to.

Are Most Protestants Ignorant of The Fact That Bible History is Catholic?

Yes. They don't even know the books of their bibles are inspired by God, but by the authority of the Catholic Church.

It truly is amazing, how historically ignorant most protestants are. I have found that many do not even understand what the Eastern Orthodox Church is. They have no knowledge of the East-West schism of 1054 AD, or anything.

I've heard a former Protestant say before that when he was a Protestant, his fellow Prots all wondered where the Bible came from but never talked about it much. They don't realize it was written by the Catholic monks. Without the Catholic Church, they would have no Bible.
