It was YOUR proof text, not mine. You can't expect me to accept a proof text that doesn't provide proof.
Furthermore where in the New Testament is the word 'Pope' ever found...
I believe right next to the word "Trinity."
Seems to me Paul had something to say about following after traditions rather than the revealed word of our Lord.
The Traditions of the Church are not the traditions Paul was writing about.
Furthermore, if the word of the Lord is so "revealed" why are there so many Protestants that disagree on what it is and says?
Ah, you admit that beliefs you hold such as the papacy and the word Trinity cannot be found in the New Testament, yet you believe it and affirm it. (I would agree the concept of the Trinity is found, nothing regarding the papacy). But, then you hypocritically attack sola scriptura as not being valid since a verse does not specifically say 'sola scriptura' (even though I Cor. 4:6 does indeed say not to exeed what is written). Okay, got it. Only those 'beliefs' you hold count.
The Traditions of the Church are not the traditions Paul was writing about
Paul was referring to anything that contradicts Scripture. Including the unbiblical and contradictory 'Mary was sinless' Catholic Doctrine which is refuted by Romans 3:28 - All have sinned.................

Probably the same reason there are contradictory RCC 'traditions'. (There are many traditions in the Roman Catholic Church that are not all harmonious. Some traditions in the church support the office of the universal bishop; other traditions denounce the office of a universal bishop (read Gregory the Great and Cyprian).
