Interesting quotes, except that ours are NOT traditions of men.

The scripture should be used for correction of anyone [2Ti 3:16]. If this were not true, these five passages would not be in the Bible and some men, or groups of men, would be above reproach.

The Apostle Paul felt He was not above reproach [Acts 17:11]. Paul also publicly reproached the Apostle Peter [Gal 2:11 & 2:14]. If these things, along with Jesus Christ's reproaches of five of the seven early churches in Revelation Chapters two and three [Rev 2:1 - 3:22], happened in scripture, we should expect to be personally be careful and discerning for ourselves.

2Ti 3:16 All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Act 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

I verify in the Bible what my Pastor is teaching as the Bereans did with the Apostle Paul's teaching.

Gal 2:11 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I (Paul)withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. (emphasis added)

Gal 2:14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before [them] all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?

I cherish my brothers and sisters in the Body of Christ, which I would include you as being, but God has instructed me to personally seek His face.

2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

1Jo 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
