Yes, we do. However, we then must be ready for THEM to "point out" when YOU have strayed, be it ever so small a deviation. It could turn REALLY ugly in a nanosecond

Oh I agree...wisdom is certainly needed. But there are really two issues. Criticizing a brother because we don't think they're doing something right that we don't do perfectly is certainly hypocrisy. But pointing out major doctrinal error is quite another thing. In this case, if one believes that scripture trumps tradition, it's clear that many Christians have fallen into major doctrinal error. Pointing this out with sound biblical references isn't a matter of hypocrisy or nitpicking, but is more akin to teaching others the truth of scripture.

I should have just stayed out of this pit of vipers that I already predicted in post 39.
It is a waste.

Question: Is the Bible your only source or do believe in the Apostolic Tradition?

Just curious, no disrespect meant.
