^This. So this!^

Bible Idolator . . . perfect.  Of course, this won't result in even a moment's serious reflection on Drich's part. Those who wear blinders (oh, sorry: who are in full possession of The Truth) aren't the most reflective people, and they can never be wrong when it comes to their most cherished, fundamental beliefs.

Why can't we be wrong? Because it is spelled out on page. again if one seeks to worship the God of the bible then it is to the bible we must seek direction.

Again the point being that all men are falliable including the Great Peter and Paul, and every 'pope' or other religious leader since the church was first established. Which is why we must make a great divide between the religions of man, and the prescribed worship of God. If the religions of man is not directly supported by the bible then that religion no matter how old or 'traditional' is not following the prescribed worship God Himself places in the bible. Therefore that action/worship can not be considered Offical Christian Worship. Does all worship need be 'official' or it is considered a sin? No, absolutely not. Just so long as it does not violate any of the established sin/laws.

Yet what was in the bible was decided by the traditions of man.  Were it not for specific traditional decisions about what to include in the bible, we would have a view of God that differs from the one you preach.  You're dealing from both sides of the deck.  You can't claim tradition doesn't matter and then turn around and claim that the correct view of God rests on the bible.  The bible itself rests on tradition.

Actually the bible rests as work of the Holy Spirit, meaning if the Bible is the only set of instructions we have to find and worship the God the bible describes then it is the responsibility of said God to provide an accurate accounting of who He is, and what He wants. Otherwise He must change the content, Or He must simply forgive those who worship and believe what his Only book says.

That may sound odd (change the content) but it has happened several times in the History of the church. An example would be when we moved away from the latin vulgate, and complied a translation based off the available greek. One of the original people who push the move back to the greek could read both, said: "either the original greek in which the original vulgate was translated was completely wrong, or none who follow the vulgate are truly Christian." again, Only Christ decides who is and is not Christian. The Point being, Traditional belief would have us going to a latain printed bible that does not represent the original greek structure. So God changed it. Then from the original tynsdale bible we got more changes via older more accurate codecees in the King James version, and again recently with discoveries like the dead sea scrolls and others.

When you look at the history of the bible you see a book that has defied tradition and traditional beliefs in an effort to maintain the closest account that we can compile. So your right while in the 3ish century men did come together to canonize scripture, God has ensured and protected the integrity of His word. Because if this was otherwise simply all been left to tradition, the bible nor the church would look anything like it does today.
