Since these books were not part of the Scriptures of Jesus day and He is not recorded as referencing any of them in His Words, why did the Roman church decide to then add these books to the Bible? Doesn't the Book of Revelation admonish the addition of or subtraction of any of the words contained?
You talk of 'man-made traditions'. How about the infallibility of the Pope? How did that work with Pope Stephen VI (896–897) or Pope John XII (955–964), who gave land to a mistress, murdered several people, and was killed by a man who caught him in bed with his wife. How about Pope Benedict IX (1032–1044, 1045, 1047–1048), who "sold" the Papacy and held homosexual orgies in the Lateran palace? What about Pope Boniface VIII (1294–1303) or Pope Urban VI (1378–1389), who complained that he did not hear enough screaming when Cardinals who had conspired against him were tortured? How about Pope Alexander VI (1492–1503), a Borgia, who sired at least seven children with an uncertain number of women? How about the Medici popes, Pope Leo X (1513–1521) and Pope Clement VII (1523–1534)?
Is it any wonder that Father Luther wanted reformation? With 'infallible' Popes like those noted above, how can one believe that such a doctrine is NOT man made?
Is God infallible? Of course! The Holy Spirit will guide the church universal however, those who will not submit to the leading of the Holy Spirit will falter! The RC church is no more or no less capable of faltering than any other church because it is a man made organization susceptible to all the lies that the Deciever can throw at its leaders. THIS is why we ALL must yield to the Bible and the leading of the Holy Spirit. In ALL things, including what you may feel is the Holy Spirit, test it to scripture, NOT to the traditions of man!
Amen!
