The Holy Bible never teaches Sola Scriptura. So the claim that it is "Biblical" is self-refuting for this claim is absent from the Holy Bible. There is absolutely no historical record of anyone teaching or believing Sola Scriptura before the Renaissance era. Sola scriptura was the rallying cry of the Protestant Reformation. Martin Luther established Sola Scriptura as an argument against unbiblical, extra-biblical and/or anti-biblical doctrines. In this regard, Martin Luther was publicly rebuking the Catholic Church for its unbiblical teachings

Why don't people use the bible to answer christian questions?

Some of us do.I would expand on the answer above thus:Generally speaking they do, but perhaps the question you mean to ask is, "Why don't people use the Bible exclusively to answer Christian questions. The answer to that one is obvious: Many Christians do not believe that all religious truth is found in the Bible. The idea that everything is to be found in the Bible is called in Latin, Sola Scriptura, literally "Scripture Alone." As far as I have been able to find out, Sola Scriptura as a concept was invented by Martin Luther no earlier than 1517, so obviously there were many Christian people before that who believed in what is called Sacred Tradition as well as the Bible. And of course, there were many people after 1517 who believed in Tradition as well.


What 2 principals became the heart of the protestant understanding of Christianity?

The two principal tenets that became central to Protestant understanding of Christianity are "sola scriptura" and "sola fide." "Sola scriptura," meaning "scripture alone," emphasizes the Bible as the sole authority for faith and practice, rejecting traditions not grounded in scripture. "Sola fide," meaning "faith alone," asserts that salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ, rather than through works or rituals. These principles shaped the Reformation and differentiated Protestantism from Catholic teachings.


What was aotumatically rejected by the concept of Sola Scriptura?

Using ANYTHING except the Holy Bible to prove whatever it is you are trying to explain Bibically. Martin Luther found by reading a Bible that was chained to a monastery wall that "man" (people) are saved through the free gift of salvation because of Jesus' sacrifice for man. It was taught in his time that you could BUY indulgences to get out of pergatory (a man-made tradition not found in Scripture) and that people were being misled by the church by not allowing members to own a Bible and that they were told that Scriptuire could only be interpreted by the clergy.
