Mike Thomas Attempts to Support Sola Scriptura (but won't debate informed critics of sola scriptura)


. . . Robert Boylan operates on an academic level that most Christians would not find useful.–Mike "the yellow" Thomas


Mike Thomas recently posted a new article, "The Book of Mormon: When The Bible Isn’t Enough." What struck my interest is that this was posted shortly after he refused to debate me on the topic of Sola Scriptura//the formal sufficiency of the 66 books of the Bible. See:


Mike Thomas (Director of Reachout Trust) Openly Admits Not Being Willing to Debate Informed Latter-day Saints


Thomas relies upon the "black hole" theory forwarded by the Tanners (who got it, in part, from Lamb's 1887 book). For a thorough refutation of this, see:


Matthew P. Roper, Jerald and Sandra Tanner, Covering Up the Black Hole in the Book of Mormon


Idem, A Black Hole That's Not So Black


Idem, Unanswered Mormon Scholars


John A. Tvedtnes, Review of Covering Up the Black Hole in the Book of Mormon (1990), by Jerald and Sandra Tanner


Idem, Review of Answering Mormon Scholars: A Response to Criticism of the Book “Coving Up the Black Hole in the Book of Mormon” (1994), by Jerald and Sandra Tanner


 For further reading on issues relating to the Bible and other topics, see:


Listing of articles refuting Mike Thomas and Tony Brown of Reachout Trust


and


Not By Scripture Alone: A Latter-day Saint Refutation of Sola Scriptura (e.g., discusses John 20:21 and the other proof-texts Thomas abuses to support formal sufficiency of the Bible)


I am again calling upon people to contact Mike Thomas at reachouttrust1@gmail.com to debate me in a moderated debate on the Protestant doctrine of Sola Scriptura.
