Unfortunately, you only believe this because it is written in the Protestant bible, to which you take an a priori position of belief. The article was aimed at people who do not have this assumption and shows from simple logic that G-d spoke at Sinai.
That chr*stianity is unprovided for by the Torah means nothing to you, because you inherited a bible with a "new testament" tacked on to the end, which automatically makes it "the word of G-d." If the Apocrypha (which were originally in the KJV) had never been removed you would believe them as well.
Your logic is identical to that of the mormons. And I know . . . you claim mine is identical to that of the Catholics because you assume to accept any Tradition is to accept all tradition.
I'm sorry for a hostile response to a basically friendly post, but your illogical assumptions are absolutely maddening.
You are aware, aren't you, that when J*sus was preaching the "new testament" was not in the Bible and that he couldn't quote Ephesians to prove what he was teaching?
Show me from the hebrew scriptures where God spoke any of the law except the ten commandments directly to all the people. I showed you specifically where it said the people only wanted to hear what God said THROUGH Moses after God spoke the ten commandments.
Exd 20:18 KJV - And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw [it], they removed, and stood afar off.
Exodus 20:19 KJV - And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.
Exodus 20:20 KJV - And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.
Exodus 20:21 KJV - And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God [was].
Exodus 20:22 KJV - And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
And God was still speaking through Moses some 40 years later:
Deu 30:8 KJV - And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day.
Deu 30:9 KJV - And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:
Deu 30:10 KJV - If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, [and] if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.
Deu 30:11 KJV - For this commandment which I command thee this day, it [is] not hidden from thee, neither [is] it far off.
Please note again that I'm not invalidating what happened. I'm not saying that God didnt' speak to Moses and that Moses relayed the message faithfully. I'm just saying that the Hebrew scriptures SAY that God only spoke the ten commandments and that he spoke through prophets thereafter.

I don't reject all tradition. I reject tradition that doesn't agree with scripture.

Well aware. Nearly all new testament figures quoted the "old" testament to support their positions. Those whom they spoke to also verified their claims through the hebrew scriptures.
