It's a pity you must take verses out of context to follow sinners that steer you wrong.

2Tim.3:16

[16] All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

As for your traditions and philosophers:

Col.2:8

[8] Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ

Unfortunately your "traditions" and "philosophers" don't agree with or follow Christ. It is precisely what God warns AGAINST.

1Pet.1:18

[18] Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;

And you follow what is advised AGAINST.

Speaking of traditions, do you attend a church that practices baptism and communion? Does your church marry couples? Do they have regularly scheduled services?

I know, too many questions, but these are pretty much a simple "yes" or "no."

What about your "traditions and philosophers"??

Just yesterday I saw a post from you effusively praising some article someone had posted by Erich someone or other. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that Erich individual wasn't an Apostle, didn't write under inspiration, and none of his writings appear in Scripture.

Do they???

You all -- fundamentalist Protestants in general -- must take us Catholics for blind fools, because when you talk to us, it's "the Bible, the Bible, I only follow the Bible" but when you think our backs our turned, you follow the words of men you think are "godly" just as much as we do!

The difference is that our tradition comes from Christ and the Apostles, and your tradition is one you picked because you liked it better.
