1. The Bible does not clearly teach Sola Scriptura. Indeed, it does not teach it at all! Therefore, your own hermeneutic shoots down your hermeneutic!
2. If the Bible really does teach a doctrine that no one was able to see in the Bible for 1500 years, the Bible was so very poorly worded that it cannot possibly be the inspired word of God. Therefore, the novel doctrine of eternal security cannot possibly be what the Bible teaches.
Two points:I think that most of us believe that it matters not how Christians and churches have taught regarding a doctrine down through the ages. It matters only what the Bible clearly teaches. (SOLA SCRIPTURAS) Hence, I have not done much research over the years on the teachings of the church. (Though John Hannah has a neat little book on the evolution of church doctrines through history called Our Legacy, The History of Church Doctrine.)
