, 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.

Such as "Perpetual Virginity", "Bodily Assumption", "Papal Infallibility"?

I see the problem. You see "tradition" as something static when tradition, in a living institution, is anything but static. Tradition is a living institution is dynamic.

------------------------------------------------------------

Please give a definition, and the dictionary it comes from, for "tradition". Any definition that implies "living" and "dynamic" would be novel indeed.

These have been addressed ad nauseam. They do not contradict Scripture. Simply neo-Christian straw men used to validate their beliefs.
