What will the sola scriptura folks do when scriptura is taken away? Saint Augustine describes the end of Scripture in today's Office of Readings:
When, therefore, our Lord Jesus Christ shall come and, as the apostle Paul says, bring to light things hidden in darkness and make plain the secrets of the heart, so that everyone may receive his commendation from God, then lamps will no longer be needed. When that day is at hand, the prophet will not be read to us, the book of the Apostle will not be opened, we shall not require the testimony of John, we shall have no need of the Gospel itself. Therefore all Scriptures will be taken away from us, those Scriptures which in the night of this world burned like lamps so that we might not remain in darkness.
Wouldn't only Christ, and him crucified be a better preparation for eternity than only Scripture?
Metaphysics is the finding of bad reasons for what we believe upon instinct, but to find these reasons is no less an instinct.
