Paul vs "the law" (can humans earn righteousness?)

[Desert Snake]

Did you say otherwise? Yes: "This is an arbitrary separation and dismissal of traditional truths, teachings. Merely because something is traditional, does not make it false; that pre-emptive bias is a common mistake in reading religious works, imo."

As I said, tradition can be true or false. But, the mere fact that something has been repeated for a long time does not give it any more likelihood of being correct.

Nope, notice how you inferred that I was implying they were true because they are traditional, whereas, I actually didn't. I stated that they are true,/ or can be true/, and also traditional, that is all.

Why would you ask these questions if you don't even care how I view the texts?

Dunno, I'll stop asking you questions.

Nope. I showed that you fraudulently accused me of claiming that traditions were always false. I never made any such claims, and I also never claimed that you thought that traditions were inherently true. You put all of those words in my mouth. My only claim was that something being a traditions does not grant it validity. Traditions can be true or false, just like everything else.
