St. Paul says to hold fast to tradition?

Aren’t you relying on traditions of men in the way you interpret scripture?

Lutherans, for example, would say scripture alone teaches that pastors can absolve sins and infant baptism.

The only difference is you refuse to see that you are relying on Baptist tradition when you interpret the scriptures.

The written record needs an interpreter. How do you objectively know that the liberal Protestants aren’t right?

After all, it’s just your word against theirs.

Scripture interprets scripture.

I’m not a Baptist nor do I rely on their interpretations.

Because they go against scripture as does the CC.

Nope. It’s scripture against the interpretations of man.
