You are lawyering away God's clear commandments. This is exactly what Jesus and Paul warned about regarding traditions.
Notice in the New Testament that times tradition is brought up, it is to warn against it's effects.
"You're using the scripture as its intended and it proves me wrong, Therefore I will listen to a man's weasling out of God's word because it's what makes me feel better"
The word "saved" is clear as day. You are outright gaslighting me to try to prove your point.
True protestant pastors (which I listen to) are searching the Bible diligently to be certain on the instructions. They find no instructions for a separate church based set of practices to keep you hooked on the church's power. If so they would be first in line to do them, because THEY ARE SINCERE.
I'm sorry you're so lost dude. I'll pray for you to come to your senses.
You're obviously looking for the truth. You won't find it in the interpretations of delusional heretics online who twist the word of God. You'll only find it in the living Body of Christ Himself. If you're open to being challenged come to divine liturgy and talk to a priest. Maybe you'll be even more convinced the Church is wrong but at least you'd know what you're rejecting instead of dealing with hearsay and prejudices.
By going against the Church you're condemning your soul. Even if there is the slightest suspicion you may not know it all and be wrong about it, it's worth investigating. That's all I have to say. God bless you.
Wow Church worship, that's demonic. God alone! By grace, through faith. Amen.
You're mentally and spiritually unwell. No sane person would come up with this idiocy. Christ is the Church. You're blaspheming God and you're doing it knowingly. Very sad.
No, what you're saying is your church with its man made traditions is the key to salvation. That is a big problem.
You are free to reject A church. What is condemning is rejecting THE gospel and THE Lord. It's condemning to reject THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE. That should be your focus. Instead you're focused on rejection of extra-biblical traditions.
I learn from a Fundamental Southern Baptist preacher, Sam Adams, that doesn't mean you cannot be saved outside of Southern Baptist education. I wouldn't dream of saying such a thing.
