both tradition and Magisteriam rely on man's reason,

That's how we understand things, BD, by reason (that's not how we know things, but that's how we understand them).

Please don't tell me that you don't rely on reason. And please don't tell me that the Holy Spirit guides you, because I will ask you to prove it.

Or should we just take your word for it?

"And please don't tell me that the Holy Spirit guides you, because I will ask you to prove it."

Ro. 8:14, "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." I am a child of God, 'cause the bilble tells me if I have trusted Jesus for my salvation I am a son of God (John 1:12-13) "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God."

Notice it says "not of the will of the flesh" (reason), "but of God" (Holy Spirit). Kosta, are you a son of God?
