Ok. The Word OF God, not The Word, is Jesus Christ.

Once again, read Scripture as it is. The Word is Jesus Christ. Jesus is not words in a book. He is my Lord and Saviour. The words of Jesus are infinitely more valuable to me than any words of men. When so-called Christians argue with me about Christian beliefs and attempt to trump the quotations of Jesus with the words of Paul, then I cannot consider them to be true Christians. They are Paulicians and have been condemned as heretics many times.

"They are Paulicians and have been condemned as heretics many times."

A true Christian could find salvation from nothing more than the Synoptic Gospels, a Calvinist could not, but would argue that salvation could be achieved exclusively from the letters of Paul.

I understand exactly where you're coming from. When so-called Christians argue with me about their traditions being on equal par with God's Word and attempt to trump that word with doctrines of fallen men and traditions of nothing to be found in God's Word, then I cannot consider them to be true Christians. They are Pope-icians and have been condemned as heretics many times.

BTW; you may have hoisted yourself with your smug example of the Word of God.
