Sola Scriptura is poorly understood by both sides. Martin Luther, John Calvin, and other Protestant reformers did not have an issue with tradition being legally binding. Their arguments were that scripture is that ultimate source of authority. Many of the Protestant confessions of the time included scriptural citations for their confessions. I recommend you read Luther’s 95 Theses and/or Calvin’s Institutes. Make sure you know your own side’s arguments, and then read what the Council of Trent wrote so you understand the Catholic position. Otherwise, you are likely to end up talking past one another.

Sola Scriptural =/= Nuda Scriptura

After 500 years, I don’t see people changing, and we are stuck with an imprecise phrase. If I could go back in time, I would have them call the concept “Scriptural Ultima” to be more clear. But I’m having some trouble getting uranium for the flux capacitor in my DeLorean. The Department of Energy is being a bit stingy.

Is it possible that my TF caused a kundalini awakening in another person? He is famous because He is a singer. We have not met physically yet, but I have gone through kundalini awakening and DNOTS and their ongoing. I have also had soul recognition so I know for sure that He is my Divine Counterpart and I do not have any doubts about it. But it is indeed perplexing that somebody had an awakening at the physical level because of Him. Is it a test for me? I have a mixture of feelings. On one hand I marvelled at Him and empathised with the person and on the other, I doubt if this just a test for me. I would appreciate your pov. Thank you for much.
