Something to consider whenever anyone makes an appeal to tradition or traditional authority. Flat out, those guys were dumb.
I wouldn’t say ‘dumb’ so much as ‘desperate’. It’s a feature of theology that when you realize that what your book actually says is just plain stupid, you’re driven to come up with the most outlandish excuses and inventions for why the book doesn’t mean what it says.
