Sola Scriptura is proven by 2 Timothy 3:16-17. The KJV uses the imagery that scripture is able to "fully furnish" us for ever good work. Now imagine you rented an apartment and the ad said it was "fully furnished". When you move in you know what fully furnished means. It has a bed, a couch, a fridge etc. Everything you need to live. If you walked in and it had not dresser drawers to put your clothes in, you would complain that it was not fully furnished! The scripture is able to fully furnish us for EVERY GOOD WORK. In other words, there are no good works that the Bible does not discuss. If we abide with scripture, and scripture alone, we need not look to oral church traditions to learn about any other good works. If we do what the Bible says, God will be happy with us.
