That's odd. Protestants and Evangelicals constantly appeal to the unchanging authority of Scripture and you criticize us for refusing the Word of God when that's what we quote using Scripture?

Read the Westminster Confession of Faith and tell me what Christian portions there are, and what novelties of Calvin there are.

We don't hold to the traditions of men and you accuse us of relying on the words of men?

Absolutely you do, beginning with the novelties of the Reformation including sola scriptura but not sola scriptura, and removing books from the Bible.

Adding books to the Bible by the RCC is similar to putting 23 gallons of gasoline in a 20 gallon tank. It makes a horrible mess and pollutes the environment.

The Jews and those dreaded "Protestants" simply kept the 20 gallons which only the Jews were authorized to put into the tank.

Romans 3:
[1] Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision?
[2] Much in every way. To begin with, the Jews are entrusted with the oracles of God.
