Notice how Christ responded...with scripture, not the traditions of the Pharisees

Yes. And yet He told His disciples to obey the Pharisees when they sat in the seat of Moses - which is when they would use tradition to explain the observance of the law.

I just posted this a few minutes ago on another Sola Scriptura thread:

Not directly related, but for me, the greatest proof of the concept of Sola Scriptura has always been when Christ was tempted. Remember, now, Jesus had known Lucifer personally from virtually the beginning of eternity. Christ was there when Lucifer rebelled and was kicked out of Heaven. There's history between the two. Yet, when tempted, Christ responded with Scriptures that were less than a thousand years old - an eyeblink compared to how long the two had known each other. Christ didn't say anything like "You remember back when the Father created Michael...." or anything like that. Christ Himself responded with Scripture, and Scripture alone, three times. That's a HUGE argument in favor of the sufficiency of Scripture.
