Thanks for your reply, but I still believe you are attacking Christ. Your first part regarding the inerrancy of Scripture is correct. The nullification of Scripture by the Traditions of Men is not.

The sinfulness of man and his suppression of the truth (Romans 1) indicates that man by his very nature will use tradition, just as the Pharasees did to nullify the Word of God. He warned the severely regarding even on the simple part of giving a gift to the synagog rather to parents.

God's Word is indeed written by God and is preserved by God despite the Traditions of man; including a ban on Scripture (which was an attempt to ban Christ).

The attack upon Christ here is upon His preeminence and an attempt to supplant the Holy Scriptures with the Traditions of Men.

Very well stated, I think you nailed it. The whole Mariology dogma the RCC has is also an attack on Christ. Think about it: Mary has replaced Christ as mediator, she has replaced him in prayer, she has even been made equal to Him as a co-redemptrix!

And I repeat that sola scriptura is what attack's Christ by denying His pre-eminence and limiting Him to just the Written Word. Sola scriptura is a tradition of Man.

Holy Tradition is just that, the Traditions as set by Christ, not man.
