interesting. No scripture given for support. No biblical or extra biblical (God spoke or showed to me) ...hummmm.

Solo Scripture means that God can not change. If He does speak to you, He WILL NOT say anything different than what He has written in the Bible (spelling?) If a book or person claims to have favor with God and speak the voice of God and contradict the Bible, then one of the sources IS NOT from God. You pick.

He's discussing history; it's not an apologetics lecture, and not a devotional or Bible study.

It's sola scriptura. But you don't need sola scriptura to get where you're going; all you need is a belief in the inspiration of Scripture, an orthodox belief about the nature of God, and logic.

No sola Scriptura means that God has, in the sense of a past tense, reviled all there is to know about him. Of course the historical formation of the Bible proves that wrong, because in order for that to be true, the Bible would have had to come down as a single one time event like the Muslim revelation. No more is to be added to our Bible because the Church says so. And the Church is herself inspired by the Holy Spirit in making that assertion.

If a book or person claims to have favor with God and speak the voice of God and contradict the Bible, then one of the sources IS NOT from God. You pick.

And for that reason Catholics do not accept things which contradict what has been reviled in the Bible. This does not however mean that revelation is confined solely to the Bible, but that the Bible is a measure of Truth. After all, if all that Christ did and taught were written down, there would not be enough libraries to hold the Books. And in any case, in order to rely on the Bible alone, one would need assurance of private interpretation, something which is inherently un-scriptural. Thus Sola Scriptura is a self contradictory doctrine, as well as being unhistorical.
