“Tradition is simply the teaching of the church that he is passing on orally, but that tradition must be validated by the written Scriptures” —> yes, that is the standard. It must not contradict scripture. If anything contradicts scripture it should be junked.
Glad you finally agree with us, and God...When are you going to start dismantling your religion???
Just as soon as your popes started claiming that one can get salvation only thru Mary, it was time to dump your religion...
Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but isn't that what we mean by sola scriptura??? The Bible, the Word of God, the Holy Scriptures, is the measuring stick of what constitutes the doctrines of the Christian faith. This by no means says that tradition cannot count for something - and I have never heard anyone say that it doesn't - it just simply means that it is the standard that all doctrine should be held to. Period.
