I claim the word of God is above all and I defend that belief..

No,you claim that your personal interpretations of the word of God is above all.

In doing so you elevate your PERSONAL interpretations above those who decided New Testament canon and the early Christians who consistently interpreted scripture through the ages.

By this analogy you trash the martyr's and Saints and think God is using you to correct them.

Now there you go again...Your early Christian fathers did NOT consistantly interpret the scriptures...They have constantly changed their interpretations over the years...

And these changers of interpretation may have determined your canon...They didn't determine the canon that God gave us...

By this analogy you trash the martyr's and Saints and think God is using you to correct them.

God uses millions of Christians to correct your saints where they disagree with the scriptures...And they do, a lot...
