Hm. Then why do you "go beyond what is written" in order to embrace "sola Scriptura", since it's nowhere in Scripture?

We're admonished repeatedly throughout scripture to test everything against it and to adhere to what is written. Doctrine or tradition that contradicts scripture is not Biblical. It does not belong. The purpose of scripture is to serve as an anchor of truth that remains true to the unchanging Word Of God. Embracing traditions that are not supported Biblically and especially those that go against scripture, is error.

Hang on. "Admonished repeatedly" is glomming several ideas together (and being very vague, to boot), and I think you're being a bit inaccurate, here.

Just to get you onto the specific point: where does Scripture insist that it must be used ALONE in such cases? If I say that my car needs gas to run, that doesn't therefore imply that it *doesn't* need oil, inflated tires, a charged battery, etc... right? If you say that "Scripture is important, and we must check spiritual ideas against it," I'll agree with you wholeheartedly (as would any faithful, well-informed Catholic). But I'm waiting for a clear and unambiguous reference to where Scripture forbids us to use anything ELSE. Can you supply chapter and verse, to that effect?

Doctrine or tradition that contradicts scripture is not Biblical.

:) No one could argue with that, I suppose... since the Bible = Scripture!

It does not belong.

Doesn't belong *where*? In Scripture? In life? In the beliefs of a Christian?

That's one of its main purposes, yes. But you'll have to show that Scripture requires us to use ONLY Scripture, in matters of faith, salvation, etc.

Embracing traditions that are not supported Biblically and especially those that go against scripture, is error.

Hold on: you've said two very different things, here; I agree with the second (if something goes against Scripture, it is error), but the first makes no sense at all... and nowhere does the Bible give a blanket condemnation of all tradition. It condemns BAD tradition (e.g. Mark 7), and it praises GOOD tradition (e.g. 2 Thes 2:15); and you can't simply say "all good tradition is that which is already found in the Bible!"... because the Bible doesn't say that, and you'd (ironically) be "going beyond what is written" in order to support your point. Do you see?
