[FONT=&quot]Scripture does not say to follow traditions of men. You misunderstand Paul. Paul did not write things that contradicted what he said in person.

The denominations that use traditions are contradicting the scriptures; just a Jesus says they do.[/FONT]



Again, Paul did not teach thing in person that contradict what he says in his letters.

The Orthodox and Catholic traditions contradict the written Word.
No. They contradict your interpretation of the written words.

PS: There is no written Word, because the Word is Christ, not a book

I prove my beliefs from scripture.
You prove that you make up traditions, you prove that you add to Scripture to suit you and condemn all who don't think like you. All I seen you do is take random Scripture out of context and tell everyone else they are wrong

I do not make creeds.
Yes you do. You just don't know what a creed is.

A creed is a list of beliefs.

Johnny made a list of beliefs

Therefore Johnny made a Creed.

THIS made a list of beliefs.

Therefore THIS made a creed.

It's illogical to say you didn't make a creed. The following is a creed:

I believe all denominations have false doctrines, and even a child of King David was to search for God’s Truth. See 1 Chronicles 22:19.
I believe that obeying Jesus’ teachings is everything, and that we have to check on everything that others try to teach us.
I believe that if you obey Jesus, he will live in your heart. See John 14:23.


That is what you posted. It is a creed.

Do you know that Christ did and said many more things than were in Scripture?

That is Tradition of the Orthodox Church.

Jesus did not do other things that contradicted what he said in the Bible.

He called Abraham Father.

He told people to not call any man father.

You interpret it literally as regards everyone EXCEPT Christ.

Was Christ somehow excepted from this thing you call a sin?

That is not a creed. I am not a denomination. I might not even right the same thing that I wrote today about what I believe, because I believe the whole Bible.
I gave you a link to what those who used creeds used them for, and I do not use creeds. You are acting like a child.

That is a creed. It is a creed by the very definition of creed. Not your link. Your link is the definition of a LITURGICAL creed.

There are many types of creeds.

A child ignores the truth when it contradicts his statement.

You are not the arbiter of the English language. Every english teacher will declare that statement is a creed. You have a creed.

Orthodox Tradition contradicts the scriptures.
Considering Orthodox Tradition is the Tradition of the Apostles, tell that to the Apostles.

Oh wait, you ignore their commands too.

Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

Read the whole article to read why and what creeds were used.

Tell me, do you believe we have to obey Jesus?

Prove it without adding your own ideas of what Scripture say

Acts 3:19
Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,

Does your denomination have people repent before being baptized?


1 John 5:21 Dear children, keep yourselves from idols.

Does your denomination have idols?


Matthew 23:9 And do not call anyone on earth 'father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven.

Do you call your brothers 'father'?


1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,

Does your denomination say to pray to Mary to get to Jesus?

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:


Why doesn't yours baptize all people?


1 John 5:21 Dear children, keep yourselves from idols.

Does your denomination have idols?

Nope. We don't


Matthew 23:9 And do not call anyone on earth 'father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven.

Do you call your brothers 'father'?

Paul did, Timothy did, Christ did, therefore I do, for I am not greater than them.

1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,

Does your denomination say to pray to Mary to get to Jesus?
Nope. We ask Mary to pray for us AND we pray to Jesus, for the prayer of a righteous person is effectual.

No, but they didn't write everything that Christ taught, because:

And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.

Tell me a Tradition your religion does, then show me where it is in the Bible; and I will show you were God says not to do it.
Tell me where the Bible gave a table of Contents.
