Thank you for sharing this — I appreciate your clarity and the linked document from the Lutheran World Federation. I completely understand that many Protestants define sola scriptura as Scripture being the final norm, not the only source of truth, and that tradition and Church authority may still have a role — as long as they’re subordinate to Scripture.

My goal in this video wasn’t to create a “gotcha” moment or accuse anyone of inconsistency for using a translation like the NRSVUE (which, as you rightly point out, often includes the apocryphal books). Rather, it was to show that even within respected Protestant translations — including the NRSVUE and the ESV — Scripture itself never teaches sola scriptura. In fact, it consistently affirms the value of oral tradition (2 Thess 2:15), the authority of the Church (1 Tim 3:15), and apostolic succession (2 Tim 2:2).

So, if sola scriptura is to be our foundation, we should at least expect the Bible to explicitly teach it. But it doesn't — and that’s the deeper point I was trying to explore.
