ABSOLUTELY.
And it's more than a LITTLE mystifying that so few of them seem to have any insight into that fact. And, perhaps worse, that they seem indignant that we don't enjoy their bullying and aren't kowtowing in abject submission to THEIR heretical labels etc. The whole edifice seems to be rife with a god-complex. No wonder the multiply so plentifully within the edifice.
I think your? below is quite apt, as well:
Dogma, in any tradition, is just institutional opinion that demands adherence. All creeds, traditions, pronouncements of Councils, church fathers, or dogma are man's interpretation and understanding of the truths of scripture. None of them save or have the authority of the inspired scriptures and ultimately, it will only be whether the individual has trusted Christ alone for salvation that has eternal significance.
I don't know that none of them have the authority of Scripture. I don't know what percentage give proper weight to Scripture. Some do. However, you could be right about the finger frother's cliques hereon.
