And by discounting the oral teachings of the Apostles,

There are no inspired oral teachings that were not written down in the scriptures...

and the Early Church Fathers,

Your 'early' church fathers more than not disagreed with your church but you guys still cite them...Nothing they wrote was inspired by God...No one even knows if your church fathers penned what you guys claim they penned...

you are steering for the rocks.

I think not...How could I be while believing only the written word as God gave it and the written word teaches otherwise???

1Jo 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

The written word is where the truth is...The written word is where life is...

Your oral tradition tells you that you can't know if you're going to heaven till you're dead...

The written word tells me I have eternal life, now...

The Church is the only true guide for interpretation, not the individual.

Your church tells you that...The written word of God does not tell you that...In fact, the opposite...

Do you suppose God wrote the bible in code??? When you guys quote the verse that says the bible is of no private interpretation, that goes for you, your priests and popes as well...

You obviously believe the New Testament, and the Authorship of THOSE books are dubious, yet accepted. The Oral Teachings are no different, and I have seen no writings of the Early Church fathers that confict in any way at all.
