Then Yeshua and HaSatan are equally valuable to you?
Everything that is a part of the proper worship of Yeshua the King is written in the ancient scriptures, and by those scriptures, nothing is to be added nor removed therefrom.
Tradition deceives, and we need only the Holy Spirit to understand what is written.
Martin Luther removed Scripture and changed Scripture.
Martin Luther TRIED to remove the Book of James but Luther was over ruled by wiser Protestants.
On the relation of the Scripture to the Church, St. Thomas wrote [this one I got from Joe Gallegos, and it appears later in Not By Scripture Alone] —
ST II-II, Question 5, Article 3
The formal object of faith is Primary Truth as manifested in Holy Scripture and in the teaching of the Church which proceeds from the Primary Truth. Hence, he who does not embrace the teaching of the Church as a divine and infallible law does not possess the habit of faith.
Now of course you might disagree with these assertions but at least we have what this great Doctor of the Church believed. St. Thomas is well-respected among certain Reformed theologians as R.C. Sproul and John Gerstner — See Thomas Aquinas : An Evangelical Appraisal by Norm Geisler (Baker Books, 1991). I also find it curious how Geisler tries to make it appear Aquinas believed in sola scriptura in his Roman Catholics and Evangelicals (Baker, 1995).
