Excuse me?? You wrote:

"I was hoping you had merely chosen not to post it until you
could post a reply. Oh well."

I guess you're technically correct - this isn't an inference. It is
an accusation - that I hold back articles when I am involved in the
thread.

Excuse me? You ask me a question, knowing full well that it's not possible
for me to produce a definitive list of traditions, that would include ALL
traditions. And by ALL here I mean ALL, not some subset.

Straw man. We do NOT say that our traditions supersede the Scriptures.
You again accuse us of what the ROMANS do. There is only tradition -
the Scriptures are part of it.

My question was exacty on target - and exactly the question to show that
you are off base here. Why? For you cannot provide a source list of
the Scriptures from the Scriptures themselves, and thus, you rely on
*tradition* for your list of Scripture. There is no other way, except
for personal authentication (ie 'these are Scriptures because I beleive
they are Scriptures, for whatever reason).

So, your rejection of "tradition" is quite disingenious. You have no
leg to stand on, so you resort to ad hominem attacks.

It is incumbant on you to demonstrate that you do not rely on tradition
for your canon list by showing exactly where it comes from.
