Dude I am telling you that the only reason I have a 'problem' with Sola Scriptura is because it's misunderstood by a LOT of people who actually say things like "I don't need anything but divine inspiration and the Holy Spirit to interpret the Bible and be a Christian". It's why I shared that video— it's generally out of piety rather than smugness or rebellion either. It makes it easier to go to a weak church because you can just ignore the stuff your pastor says or church believes if it disagrees with your beliefs. I understand that this isn't Sola Scriptura as Luther intended, and I don't take issue with the classical Lutheran view of it as I understand it. Elevating The Bible above the church organization and its specifics and alternative teachings when an obvious conflict arises makes sense to me. There are probably examples I'm unaware of where I disagree or think interpretation is debatable, but the concept doesn't bother me. Only incorrect application by people building idols of their ignorance, but it is less of a personal bother and more a concern for their soul and those around them who may be misinformed and come to believe sketchy ideas borne of modernity and bad hermeneutics.
