Sola Scriptura vs Prima Scriptura - What's The Difference?

A teaching that was never in Judaism and never existed in Christ's time, or any time throughout Christianity's history.

Addressed already. The concept is exactly the same as the Law of Moses: one standard, one authority, no one can change it and all are subject to it.

This is tantamount to saying that the gates of Hell prevailed on the Church and all of the souls She led until the Reformation. It is like calling Christ a liar.

This is a rant that honestly isn't worth answering.

You say that Christ argued with the Pharisees about these issues showing a more Sola Scriptura attitude, but again the divorce law is found in the actual Torah.

So? The law permits divorce. Not some Rabbi who borrowed from the Canaanites the way St. Iraneus borrowed from Plato.

Jesus argued against the philosophy that Jew couldn't heal on the Sabbath which is not in the Torah, which came about because a Rabbi taught it, the same way St. Iraneus taught the immortality of the soul which is also not in the Torah.

That is you bringing your own wishes into it because you refuse the authority of the Church which has led most Christians throughout all of history and that Christ himself founded.

The only authority the church has is that which is given by Jesus Christ, and to whom Jesus gives authority he also gives clear indication by of their authority by the power they show. Re-read the books of Acts. The disciples were given visible power. A man and woman fell dead at Peter's feet when they lied to him. That's visible power. That's a visible demonstration that Peter had authority. Iraneus is a great guy I'm sure, but I have not heard of any such demonstration that shows he was given authority by Jesus evident by the power he had. Nor Pope So and So, nor Pastor So and So. I'm not going to believe anyone by their say so. I'm not sorry about that. I will believe those whose demonstrations show proof of their authority. You can believe whom you want to believe.

These demonstrations of course only being written down in their books.

That's incorrect. The demonstration was that those events which they prophesied actually happened and that is why their writings were preserved and respected.

We're at the point where this is going in circles. You follow you standard, which isn't a standard because each person makes it up as they go along... which accepts as doctrine the teachings of pagans and unbelievers and perpetuates it rather than change it. You do that. I'm not here to change your mind. A tree will be known by its fruit.
