If Scripture isn't supreme, especially based on the verse we've been discussing in 2 Timothy, then what is?

The Church.

and why?

Because Scripture does not tell you what is a proper hermeneutic and what is not.

Scripture provides for the church, reason, natural revelation etc. Formal sufficiency is limited. But that Scripture is the assured Word of God and transcendent standard for obedience and testing and establishing truth claims, is abundantly evidenced .

Saying it is the church is an assertion. What is the basis for your assurance of Truth? Are you saying that being the historical instruments and stewards of Scripture means they are the infallible interpreters of it, so that dissent from them is rebellion against God? That seems to be the RC polemic behind "we gave you the Bible...)
