Sola scriptura is a tradition of Man.

Scripture is given by God not man. Thus it is Holy, infallable and inerrant. Christ's commandments are not tradations, they are not optional.

Again, you are minimizing the importance of Christ and His Word and thus an attack upon Christ Himself.

Besides, did not Christ say that "Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that procedes from the mouth of God."?? The Christ lives by the Word of God, are you a Christian?

I AGREE with that -- I DISagree with SOLA scriptura (i.e. ONLY scripture -- THAT is unbiblical)

Christ's commandments are not tradations, they are not optional.

Christ's commandments were part of Holy Tradition before scripture was compiled. They still are as scripture was birthed from Holy Tradition (the days of the 1st century).

By using the word ONLY scripture, you minimize the importance of Christ and limit His Word. This is an attack upon Christ Himself.

Christ said that "Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that procedes from the mouth of God." --> the WORD. At no point is this limited to the WRITTEN WORD. "In the beginning was the Word." --> please understand this, there is no dispute about the holiness, sanctity and Godly origin of scripture. The dispute is about the unbiblical, unscriptural and God-limiting concept of "sola" scriptura.

By limiting God to just the Bible, the proponents of sola scriptura seek to put limits on God, which is inherently wrong.

Reminder: There is no dispute that Scripture is given by God not man and is Holy, infallible and inerrant and there is no dispute that Christ is Lord and God and The WORD of God. The dispute is over the limitation of God to only the WRITTEN Word.

Man shall not live by bread alone by by every word that proceeds from the MOUTH of God"
