Instead of quoting theologians attempting to promote their particular sects doctrines why not quote Scripture?

The One Holy catholic and Apostolic Church is not a sect.

Where does it say in Scripture that man made traditions should have more importance than the inspired Word of God?

You didn't read the quote, it seems. +John Chrysostom merely states that the saints God chose to reveal Himself to did not require anything in writing because they were pure in heart (remember: "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God"?)

The Scripture is for those who are not pure in heart because they tend to corrupt even the word of God. Obviously, God chose not to drop the Old Testament in Moses' lap, nor did He distribute the New Testament to His Apostles. Obviously, God does not prefer Scripture. Obviously, those who are pure in heart do not need Scripture.

And while we are at this, where do you find "sola scriptura" fantasy in the Bible?

Qx:Still recovering from the . . . shocking . . . sentence above.

I guess that would explain:

Matthew 5:18
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

= = =

I suppose I could agree that CHRIST'S BODY is not a minor sect.

But CHRIST'S BODY includes believers from all sect's . . . sectarian groups . . . incluring RC's et al
