How is Sola Scriptura incoherent?

Nuda scriptura is scripture alone. Sola scriptura looks at the writings and the traditions, with the writings (source of the traditions) having greater relevance.

John 20:17] Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.’ ”

The New Testament identifies Jesus. Literally, spelling it out in Acts 3.

Who are the actual "science deniers": people who wait until vaccines are proven effective, or people who believe that there are more than two genders?

Considering that the traditions stem from interpretations based off the writings, sola scriptura would be the means to test the coherency of the traditions.

But it was not until the efforts to create a uniform Christianity at Nicaea that the concept became the accepted tradition, to create a universal (catholic) interpretation of the writings.

Later, Tertullian would lay the foundations of the Trinity.

Have you ever had a weird experience immediately following the death of a loved one that made you think there is an afterlife and that the deceased person was communicating with you?

A Trinity was first mentioned as G-d, His Word and His Wisdom, by Theophilus of Antioch.

For example, Jesus has a God …

So, how does that affect the Athanasian Christian doctrine of the Trinity?

Why is India lagging behind China in economic development when India is a democracy while China isn’t?

But if you read it through the filter of the traditions of a Trinity, you will miss it (like many miss Jesus telling Mary about Mary’s G-d being Jesus’s G-d). That is incoherent.
