===='''1. Sola Scriptura Is Not Taught in the Bible'''====
Catholics agree with Protestants that Scripture is a “standard of truth”—even the preeminent one—but not in a sense that rules out the binding authority of authentic [[apostolic tradition|apostolic Tradition]] and the Church. The Bible doesn’t teach that. Catholics agree that Scripture is materially sufficient. In other words, on this view, every true doctrine can be found in the Bible, if only implicitly and indirectly by deduction. But no biblical passage teaches that Scripture is the formal authority or rule of faith in isolation from the Church and Tradition. Sola scriptura can’t even be deduced from implicit passages.

:Bingo. Right here. Jesus said ''Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.''
:Jesus also said, ''Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that."''
:'''Commentary:''' There are two Gospels (one "which is no Gospel at all" as Paul says), they are a Gospel of Grace, and Gospel of Law (alternatively, "A Gospel of Works"). Rejecting the authority of scripture (i.e., "The Word of God") turns the Gospel into a Gospel of Works (such as in Buddhism, Islam, Mormonism, and host of other teachings).
:What does the scripture teach us? That Israel received the Gospel in the wilderness, and rejected it for a Gospel of Works (i.e., the Mosaic Law). The Law cannot save one from the wrath of God.
:What further does the scripture teach us? That Israel was called out of Egypt, that God called out a people unto himself, that these people were eyewitnesses to God's mighty power when they saw God destroy their enemies who were pursuing them, when God parted the sea, they witnessed the plagues of Egypt and how they were immune. In the end, they ''still'' rebelled and bowed to worship the Golden Calf.
:Such are those who reject the Gospel of Grace for the traditions of men and a gospel of law or works, which is no gospel at all. You cannot earn your way into God's family. I know that in me dwelleth no good thing. They that are in the flesh cannot please God. Ye must be ''spiritually'' born.
