Jeff Straub quotes:
“The whole counsel of God concerning all things necessary for his own Glory, Mans Salvation, Faith and Life, is either expressely set down or necessarily contained in the Holy Scripture; unto which nothing at any time is to be added, whether by new Revelation of the Spirit, or traditions of men”
(Chapter 1, Paragraph 6).
There are versions of Sola Scriptura which are just annoyingly off.
Then there is this, which is actually deeply wrong.
unto which nothing at any time is to be added, whether by new Revelation of the Spirit, or traditions of men
The Apostles obviously didn't believe that when changing the day of worship to First Day of the Week.
The Council of Nicaea didn't believe that when replacing agrarian observations at the Jerusalem temple with approach of vernal equinox (for N. Hemisph.) as determination of when Nisan begins. On the other hand, neither did the Jews who switched to a pre-calculated calendar produced by Hillel II.
The Popes didn't believe this when imposing the 12th and 14th completed birthdays (for ladies and for gengtlemen) as last days that marriage would be prohibited and even invalid due to defective age.
Note also the formulation: "either expressely set down or necessarily contained" .... contained by cultural circumstances back in the first C. AD isn't good enough. A circumstance is not a necessity. Dito for clear allusions.
Some modern Protestants who defend the raising of the marital age by referring to customs in 1st C AD Judaea (which I'd like the sources for*) fall afoul of this rule (as much as Popes do, with the 14/12 rule, except to them it was never a rule in the first place).
And clear allusions in Luke 1:28 and 42 are not good enough to establish that Mary is sinless, of which the maximal version is, since Her conception.
Know another thing which falls afoul of this rule? The rule itself. Sola Scriptura non in Scriptura./HGL
* One can also mention, Babylonian Jews had a younger limit. Meaning for personal consent to marriage. Whether the thing of Judaea is true or not, and excluding marriage by paternal order below a certain age.
