Sola Scriptura Is Biblical And Taught In Scripture

One of the biggest lies from Roman Catholicism is that believing scripture as the sole and final authority for Christian conduct and belief is heresy. The Catholic Church have set themselves up as equal in authority as the holy word of God. Catholics have set aside the word of God for the words of men (Church councils, Catholic catechisms, Quotes from “Church fathers” and “Saints” etc) which often contradict each other.

Just go in Instagram and look as posts from the average Catholic Instagram page, they quote from Church fathers and Catholic saints in almost all their posts, they very rarely even quote verses from the Bible. In an idolatrous fashion, they have set up the words of the Church fathers to the same authority of the word of God.

The concept of following the Bible as the sole authority is 100% biblical and taught in scripture. Obeying the divinely inspired word of God over man-made (and pagan) Catholic traditions is biblical. Let God be true, and every man (including Rome) a liar (Rom 3:4).

Jesus responded to Satan’s temptations with “it is written” not “I declare” or “the traditional view is.” Jesus quoted scripture as a rebuttal to Satan’s temptations, not tradition.

Matthew 4:1: Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
Matthew 4:2: And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
Matthew 4:3: And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
Matthew 4:4: But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Matthew 4:5: Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
Matthew 4:6: And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Matthew 4:7: Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Matthew 4:8: Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
Matthew 4:9: And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
Matthew 4:10: Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
Matthew 4:11: Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

Jesus expected people to understand the scriptures themselves (this flies in the face of the Catholic teaching that only the church can read the interpret the scriptures).

Mark 12:24: And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?

Matthew 22:29: Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

John 5:39: Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

Matthew 26:24: The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.

Luke 10:26: He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?

Jesus always references scripture but never references oral tradition to back up doctrine.

Matthew 12:3: But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;

Matthew 12:5: Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?

Matthew 21:42: Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

John 7:38: He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

Mark 12:10: And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:

Lastly, Paul said that we are not to put anything above what is written.

1 Corinthians 4:6: And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.
