The Church Fathers, almost to a person, reject Sola Scriptura, and hold that Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture make up a single deposit of the Word of God
The Bible can’t be properly understood without authoritative guides — and those guides can’t be self-appointed.
Since ‘Sola Scriptura’ is a foundation of Protestant theology, once I realized it was self-refuting, I had to back away from my Protestant beliefs.
Inscripturation as a counter-reply to the biblical/Catholic rule of faith utterly fails, and is itself merely an unbiblical tradition of men.
