Add to that the different languages,interpretations and translation of the written word whether tradition or scripture and one can see how these back and forths get us nowhere. In other words it is difficult to be a “truth seeker” these days.

There simply is NOT that much difference between translations of Scripture as people who like to cast doubt on its integrity like to posit.

It's not confusing. And it's not hard to become a seeker of the truth. There are tons of resources online that can connect one to the original Greek and Hebrew to clarify anything one is uncertain about.

As far as *interpretation*, it is not as mysterious and difficult as Catholics would like to have us believe in order to claim the need for their church to *properly* interpret the word for us.

Most of Scripture is clear and straightforward and the problem with *interpretation* is when someone doesn't like what they are reading and want it to say something different and need to find *deeper* meanings for it.

Tradition is tradition and does not rise to the level of certainty as the written word. Arguments over tradition are meaningless as there is no sold basis for the truth of them.

**Tradition is tradition and does not rise to the level of certainty as the written word.**

And just look at all the turmoil in the Roman Catholic Church. Even they can’t agree on what their tradition really teaches. Seems that every FRoman Catholic thinks they are more Catholic than the Pope.

I am happy that you are finding truth seeking easy with all of the resources available on line. My observation of the world these days makes me believe that truth is buried under a significant number of misunderstandings as well as deliberate lies and omissions of facts making it tough people to find it.
