My favorite part of that whole doctrine is the Lutherans who talk about sola scriptura but then cite Luther's works. Those sure aren't in the Bible.

What synod is this in (ok, so you're in Wisconsin, I can take a good guess)??? I was born & raised Missouri Synod and now attend ELCA - and I've never really heard anyone talk about sola scriptura. Although I would like to point out that Luther's works were meant to help the common people understand the bible when the bible was not in the vernacular, and services were conducted in Latin. He was not writing a "seond bible" or even a companion to the bible, but more of a "ok, so I read the thing, what does it all mean?".
