[ Therefore sola scriptura presupposes (1) the existence of the printing press, (2) the universal distribution of Bibles, (3) universal literacy, (4) the universal possession of scholarly support materials, (5) the universal possession of adequate time for study, (6) universal nutrition, and (7) a universal education in a high level of critical thinking skills. ]

Not so.. sola scriptura presupposes the Holy Spirit sent to lead one into all truth.. which is the logos or scripture.. A printed bible can only help.. Because even having a bible requires the holy spirit to teach it.. Because that is why Jesus left the Holy Spirit on earth.. After all some could not read even if they had a bible in whatever language..

The Holy Spirit was not sent to confirm tradition or ceremony or one sect over another.. but the logos or even the rhema..
