??? tradition as the source of scripture?

Scripture is a liturgical document. It didn't grow on a tree. It was written by many divinely inspired authors within the tradition and compiled and preserved by the Church that you deny, so that it can arrive comfortably in your hands 2000 years later. Early Christians didn't have the Bible - if understand this you can no longer be protestant because that leads to Sola Scriptura being false.

Listen to this short excerpt on the subject: https://youtu.be/LZDaB5wT40E?t=4417

My understanding is shared by others, it's not just me.

Except when it's not and your believes contradict. No way to determine who's correct because everyone has equal authority and is equally inspired by the Spirit, or at least you have to assume that. You realize historically protestants brutally killed each other for centuries over such disagreements, right?

It's bad to deny the power of the Holy Spirit. It's possible to "have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof". So simply don't deny the transformative powers that scripture clearly lays out.

Strawman. I never denied the power of the Holy Spirit who normatively works through the Church. Christ teachus us that there is no salvation outside of His Church (the Ark of salvation, the Body of Christ, the Bride of Christ). This is completely scriptural and orthodox.

Christianity is lived, communal, sacramental and participatory. It's not an abstract intellectual idea or a book you read on your own. You only know Christ by participating in His uncreated divine energies and being part of His Church (by baptism and eating His body and drinking His blood - the eucharist).
