Okay, your position in regard to the assertion that "the scriptures alone are enough" is fairly clear. I am curious, though, as to when it is that you believe that the scriptures became sufficient? That is, do you believe that there was a magical point in time when the scriptures weren't sufficient, and then, all of a sudden, they became sufficient?

Honestly I can't answer that question. I would have to say that, according to Paul, we know for sure they were sufficient at the time of his writing.

We know in Leviticus 18 the Lord says:

"You shall follow my rules and keep my statutes and walk in them. I am the LORD your God. You shall therefore keep my statutes and my rules; if a person does them, he shall live by them: I am the LORD."

Each step along the way in the unfolding drama of redemption God provided what was needed for a person to know His will. We are responsible for the light we have.

All of this was leading up to the ultimate revelation of God's nature and will in the Life of Jesus Christ. As the scripture says:

"Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power." - Heb 1
