As soon as I have to depend on your "Tradition" I will be prey to false doctrine

We are ALL prey to Satan and false doctrine. Doesn't Peter say that in his epistle? That includes you, as well as me. The difference between us is that I know where I can receive the truth - from the pillar and foundation... You believe YOU are the source of truth. I look elsewhere.

BTW, have you ever wondered if some of those "heretics" were actually right and our MARTYRS that we will meet in heaven?

If the Church officially declared a particular teaching a heresy, then I don't wonder if they were right. They weren't. However, perhaps their death served as a temporal punishment for the sin of their false teachings and they are in heaven (presuming they were mentally asking for forgiveness from God). I don't know who will be in heaven except for those the Church has cannonized.

Regards

Typical cheap shot when you really don't have a leg to stand on. You can look to your institution to tell you what to believe and think. I will search the SCRIPTURES meditate on them and pray for the HOLY SPIRIT to open my eyes.
