You want a list? Start w/post #33 above.
Then let’s move to the tradition that Jesus was an only child.
Then the tradition that Mary was sinless.
Then the immaculate conception (of Mary).
You really don’t wanna go there... there’s innumerable examples.
Yes: Catholic traditions very often supercede the written Word.
“You want a list?”
Yes.
“Start w/post #33 above.”
It doesn’t say anything about tradition trumping scripture. Try again.
“Then let’s move to the tradition that Jesus was an only child.”
You think there were other Sons of God? Scripture says Mary was a virgin and implies she intended on staying that way; Scripture says Joseph was a righteous man. A righteous man would not touch what had been given to God. Scripture says Jesus was THE son of Mary. Scripture says those who modern Protestants think of as the brothers of Jesus were the sons of Alpheus/Cleopas and another Mary. Scriptures says Jesus gave Mary to John for her care while he died on the cross. If He has siblings that would be a violation of all law and custom.
“Then the tradition that Mary was sinless.”
Doesn’t trump scripture. Nothing in scripture says Mary was sinful, for instance. Verses about “all” being sinful are not statements about Mary but instead hyperbole. And Luke’s use of kecharitomene: http://www.philvaz.com/apologetics/a116.htm
“Then the immaculate conception (of Mary).: Ditto: http://www.philvaz.com/apologetics/a116.htm; http://www.philvaz.com/apologetics/ImmaculateConceptionMaryJuniperCarolMariology.htm
“You really don’t wanna go there...”
Absolutely.
“there’s innumerable examples.”
So far you haven’t presented even one. When will you start?
“Yes: Catholic traditions very often supercede the written Word.”
No, but let’s try something different. Show me, using scripture alone, where it says either of the following:
1) Matthew wrote a gospel.
2) Matthew’s gospel is inspired.
