In fact at the last annual GRPL/Neener picnic the Tradition was affirmed, isn't that right you GRPL/Neener bishops?

I remember it was right after that secret meeting we held where we decided we were the only ones with the power to interpret Scripture.

the qualm the apostolic churches have with the protestant attitude toward script is the same one conservatives have with regard to liberals reinterpreting of the constitution.

protestants reinvent scripture from poor biased translations deliberatly twisiting the meaning to liberalize the truth and tolerate their deviations from Christ commandments.

Not one protestant confession has come out of the ranks of Aramaic or Koine Greek speaking peoples. All have come from folks who speak none of the classical languages, and have tried to learn them themselves in secret, and then go about translating the bible with preconseived notions of what they want it to say.

In short protestants not only divine themselves the sole true interpretors of scripture they do it on a personal level (emphasising self over God), thus adding to any perceived arrogance they feel Rome may have had, they go so far as to aledge that 1600 years of Christians were mistaken and only they are correct.

That said your secret meetings and self obsessed lofty declararations seem par for the protestantism course.
