But if you don't really want to confront that issue, again, I would understand, and besides, I too am interested---like the others---in hearing what powerful arguments and the evidence in support of them persuaded you from your genuine skepticism.
Now you can pretend that I just shoot from the hip because I lead with the simple explaination first, but on any topic if you wish we can wade in to the deep end at any point. If I lead with the simple it is so everyone has the oppertunity to have the same understanding.
I do not have a need to toot my own horn just because I have spent hours reading and researching, more often times I put in hours of research so I can simplify a precept accurately.
It's really simple, or rather I will start out with a very simple explaination.
It is completely on God to provide continuity of Scripture if He certifies continuity of scripture in the book itself (which He does.) That or He must offer forgiveness for following an incomplete or book in error, or He must confirm or make changes to scripture in an authoritiave way as per the discovery of something like the Dead Sea scrolls.
To put it simply, "we" don't have to ensure sola scriptura, that's God's job. Either that or forgive us for following sola scriptura as that is what we have been told to believe/follow per the bible itself.
