Does the bible and the ealry Church teach sola scriptura?

[Athanasias]

I would like to propose a offer to my goodhearted non-Catholic brothers in Christ to do a formal debate on Sola Scriptura. This debate first and foremost must be between myself and a solid protestant Christian of the mainstream protestant denominations. The protestant Christian must not be anti-Catholic! This is very important. As I Catholic I have many protestant friends and I and my church are not anti-protestant. I do not beleive that protestants are going to hell because of their faith etc. I do not judge their souls. I believe they have Jesus and much truth and he is their savior. So I expect to debate a civil person of the protestant understanding of christianity who also views the same towards Catholicism and faithful Catholics.

The person I will debate must be a mainstream(Lutheran, Baptist, Presbyterian, Pentecostal etc etc.. ) faithful knowledgeable protestant (Not LDS or Jw or someone else who is not sure of what they believe). The person must also have a strong understanding of their protestant faith and love Jesus(as almost every one I have met does). They also must consider the Catholic faith to be Christian and not a cult. I had debated people like this in the past and it doesn't work well in dialog.

The debate will be up to 5000 words a post.

It will go at least 5-6 rounds or possible 7 if willing.

Up to 2 weeks to respond to each response.

Much can be quoted form any source.

Scripture and the fathers of the church must be central in this debate.

This debate must be friendly and prayerful!

God bless you!

I am willing to debate with a few exception smaller post like 1000 max, Some would consider me anti catholic depending on your opinion of that... I would want the debate to be labeled the ecfs view of sufficiency of scripture as there are a million different views of what SS is and i've never met a catholic to be close to any of them... I don't necessarily consider catholocim a cult but I do view there doctrines of justification and sanctification outside of scripture. 4-5 rounds max.
