How do the Sola Scrptura folks react to the Dead Sea Scrolls and other more recent discoveries of ancient Biblical texts not among those canonized by Martin Luther?

The New Testament was established as part of creating a universal (catholic) interpretation for all Christians.

If you study, you will find passages in the Orthodox Bible, not in the Catholic.

Nuda Scriptira is scripture alone. Sola Scriptura is writings authority over traditions and does not imply Biblical inerrancy (see above in regards to Jesus, and genealogy to David).

Can a Trump supporter explain what was wrong with what Bishop Budde said to Donald Trump?

The influence of the Christian Old Testament was the Septuagint, which predates Jesus. Luther, also maintained the Septuagint philosophy of law, history, poetry and prophets, in ordering, while the Tanakh followed Torah, prophets (Nevi'im) and writings (Ketuvim).

In response to A2A:

However, if one is using the Bible as a premise and traditions, how does one evaluate discrepancies between the two, as traditions are interpretations of Bible passages as their claim for validation.

My landlord just sold the house I’m renting from her. She included all fixtures, that I bought and installed. Does she have this right?

Just as there are a few discrepancies between the Masoretic and Samaritan Torahs.

Actually, Luther was influenced by the books of the Masoretic Tanakh and did, originally, include the Apocrypha.

Since the Bible is a collection of writings (literally what biblia means), you will even find that while Matthew and Luke have genealogies, Paul wrote to Titus and Timothy not to pursue foolish genealogies.

Did you know God exists? 900+ answers later and no atheist has yet to be successful. Day 8 of asking Atheists to provide a SINGLE argument that demonstrates a cause for the beginning of the universe while avoiding the problem of infinite regression.

Even Jesus questioned how the Messiah was David's son.
