Our source of knowledge is from His Word, which even He has magnified above ALL, which IMO, above tradition. We are to depend on His Word aabove all to reveal God.
Since the bible is regarded as the Word of God by TRADITION....

I do not believe that the Word of God IS the Word of God by tradition. I view it as the Word of God by faith that what He says is the truth. He says His Word is magnified above ALL.
IMO, no offence intended, to trust that the Word of God is the Word of God because of traditions from men, because it has been proven to you by men, shows a lack of faith in God's Word. I believe because God said. If you want to say to yourself (or even too me:), that I am fooling myself, that it is really tradition, that is fine, God knows my heart.
