Because it is the Only thing that has been endorsed for teaching, direction and reproofing the word and works of, and for God. No other avenue/person has been authorized by God for determining the known will or works of God. Therefore it is on God to establish, and maintain the pureity of His works and words, through the bible. otherwise He must forgive us for following the only thing He has left us.
Quote:You do recall what Christ allegedly taught about hypocrites, right?You have failed to establish hyprocrisy here. The doctrines of men apart from scripture orginate with man and have not been given the authority to determine or repersent the will of God. While the scriptures have.
Quote:And in whom does authority lie for interpreting the meaning of whatever scripture you arbitrarily accept? The High Drich?I and Bible based Christians like me accept the whole of scripture. We work and strive to reconsile all of it to build our pictures of God.

Huh? How can you both be right if you have contradictory answers for the same question?
Why do you assume both are right? Obviously One if not both are wrong. The saving Grace here is just that. saving grace. The same grace and attonement that covers willful sin covers us when we are worshiping wrongly if we are doing our best to worship the God of the bible the way it has been perscribed.
