I, unlike you and other neo-Christians entertain no illusions of infallibility in regard to the interpretation of scripture or anything else for that matter.

None of the text you quote makes any substantial case for the incredibly amorphous man made doctrine of sola scriptura. The idea of using Scripture, as a touchstone for the validity of Tradition is hardly an endorsement of the man made doctrine of sola scriptura.

Neo-Christian.. LOL. I think that's what one calls someone that mixes a batch of home-brew: A little bible, a little logic, a bunch of philosophy, mix with desire to ignore certain parts of the bible and anyone who gives voice to them, a little powergrab here and there, etc. Blend on puree for 10 minutes, press into a mold, paint with Christian symbols and pretend it means something...

Christians follow the Word of God, not tradition trying to substitute itself for scripture (tradition being gossip, popular opinion and whatever someone decides to do tomorrow and say it's inspired), not philosophy which is roundly denounced, not a democratic vote over which pagan idea to adopt tomorrow.. Christianity is hearing and obeying God. I don't care what label you paste on yourself, if you aren't doing that, then by the definitions given in John 10 among others you are a pretender.

LOL, just keep telling your self that your interpretation is infallible and your traditions are correct. Faith built on ones own interpretation of scripture is dicey at best. Good luck.
