And again, *tradition* does not give anyone license to make things up that are not found or even supported in Scripture and pass them off as truth and teach them as truth.

Nor does it give anyone the authority to make believing in something that can’t be found or substantiated in Scripture as binding on the believer.

I agree completely!

"Nor does it give anyone the authority to make believing in something that can’t be found or substantiated in Scripture as binding on the believer."

I substantially agree (!), but with this amendment:

"Nor does it give anyone the authority to make believing in something that is not in harmony with, or which is directly and unambiguously contrary to Scripture, as binding on the believer."

That's where the disputed questions really begin. Fortunately, we (you and I and the whole Church) are not without recourse to the Holy Spirit.
