Seems to me one of the most glaring defenses against
Sola Scriptura is Jesus speaking in parables. Why
use parables if one expects literal interpretations?
Under Sola Scriptura therefore all priests should
actually be grain farmers!
 
Just curious: do you think there is such thing as fallible knowledge? Can a true belief be fallible and justified?
Yes. I just happen to think that when God says something, or endorses something, it’s true.

Sola Scriptura does not mean literalism.
 
Sola Scriptura does not mean literalism.
Again the problem with those propounding sola Scriptura
there is the division in which gasp literalism is intended.
And actually with most fundamentalist I’ve met literal
is the only recognized form of interpretation. Except
oddly enough the Eucharist.

Therefore if Mary and His brothers arrive to take
Jesus home, obviously Mary had more children.
 
But you just did. Or, you allowed for the possibility.
Er, no. That doesn’t follow at all. The Apostles were fallible human beings. They were perfectly capable of error. They could, for example, have ignored the Holy Spirit.

So how do you know when what they proposed was erroneous?

So, for example, when Peter says that “baptism saves you now”, was he erring?
 
I am not sure if main line Protestants use sola scriptura but it does seem to me that the great majority of the fringe denominations in Protestantism do use sola scriptura as the main basis for their private interpretations. They have grown up believing that the Bible only and that every one has the right to interpret as they see fit. If they think that someone does not go along with their interpretation they are just plain wrong. Just think of all of the churches where there is preaching’s against others or the catholic Church or of the Jews, or of the races etc… that I think is where the real problem might lay.

Er, no? At no point has anyone said that they were in error.
 
Then they conform to the Catholic understanding of infallibility.

And therefore you believe that men can be infallible. And have been multiple times.
No I don’t! I don’t know why you can’t see what I’m saying. Fallibility is the capability of error. The Apostles were capable of error. Therefore they were fallible.

So where did they err? What part of 1 Peter and 2 Peter is erroneous?
