I don't really see a thread on this issue, but seeing as how this is an important distinction between Protestants and Catholics/Orthodox, it's a debate that's worth having here.
So, why do you support sola scriptura when:
1) The Bible nowhere actually says that you should go by scripture alone?
2) Christians for at least a few decades had no Bible, while for a few hundred years there was no settled canon?
3) There is no way to use the Bible to prove what books belong in the Bible?
4) The Bible explicitly teaches that you are to use tradition to guide you?
