Yes, His truth, is there another? His truth is the truth proclaimed and protected by the Church.

The doctrines are not man made, but inspired by the Holy Spirit in light of Scripture and Tradition.

Sola Scriptura is a man made doctrine invented for the sole purpose of fomenting dissension against Christ’s Church.

St. Paul says that all scripture is useful for reproof and correction, but he never says “scripture alone” anywhere.

There is no doubt that he believed in the primacy of scripture, but he never says that it alone is the only authority.

Nothing approaching the Protestant dogma Sola Scriptura was even considered by ancient Jews or Christians until the rise of the Karaites in the 7th century.

So Protestants can try in the vanity of their minds to make the Bible say scripture alone, but their dogma would have been foreign to the earliest Christians.

I might note that it’s easy to cherry pick from the fathers to twist their meanings without taking them in the fullness of their writings where they also appeal to ecclesiastical tradition in defense of their scriptural interpretations.

Wrong. People would not have left the CC if that were so and there would have been no need of a reformation.

Don’t accuse The HOLY SPIRIT of giving false doctrine. “May God’s Word be true and every man a liar.”
