true, both the Chalcedonian schism (split between Monophysites and Miaphysites) and the great schism of 1054 (split between the Orthodox and Roman Churches) occurred long after the Bible was completed. however, all resulting entities view themselves as the unbroken continuation of what they consider to be the one true church, seeing all other branches as offshoots. i was talking less about theological (dis-)similarity and more about conflicting historiographies and claims of universal legitimacy.

the various Protestant currents do in fact have vastly different approaches to sola Scriptura, with differences being primarily along the lines of what should count as scriptural authority in the first place, how doctrine is derived, and what role (if any) traditions/confessions ought to play. though, honestly, Protestantism is such a broad umbrella term encompassing such a vast array of conflicting teachings that generalisations are impossible. Baptist/Evangelical and Anglican views are essentially wholly incompatible, despite theoretically being based on some common principles.

generally, i think were broadly in agreement here, i just couldn't control my inner pedant, sorry.
