[Dr. Eckleburg]

it is the Oracles of God which must hold primacy in all things. They are the WORDS of GOD. What could be more important, or authoritative?

...the purpose of the tradition is to magnify the Scripture, not to magnify itself.

AMEN.

From the beginning, God chose to reveal Himself to men through and by and for His holy word. God places so much emphasis on the word that this is the very name He gives His Son -- "the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us." (John 1:14)

For those He has blessed with ears to hear and eyes to see, Scripture is the authority of God given to light the steps of His family as they are called to Him.

"Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." -- Psalm 119:104-105

[Petronski]

For those He has blessed with ears to hear and eyes to see, Scripture is the authority of God given to light the steps of His family as they are called to Him.

Yes, and yet some choose to reject the instructions to us He gives in Scripture, and worse, to slice and dice Scripture to contort it to fit the Traditions of Men like Cauvin, Luther, Zwingli, Machen, et al.

Imagine the arrogance of distorting His Holy Scripture to redesign a god in man's image, to add words, to invent doctrines like sola fide and sola scriptura, all so as to lead millions away from His Church and His Holy Sacraments.
