With the inspired Word of God why would you need any man made teachings?

Are not your inferences, indeed ANY teaching, that is not explicitly commanded in Scripture, man made? If not, why are yours inspired but mine are not?

To base doctrine on something other than the Bible is the concern. This goes to the point Paul was making in Timothy 3 we were discussing.

Example: prayers to Mary.

We have nothing in Scripture that tells us to pray to Mary. Yet, man-made tradition tells us to.
