@Via Dolorosa: as a convert to the Reformed faith from lib(tard)eral Judaism and via broad evangelicalism, I'm curious about a few of your points. I too know evangelicals - and Jews - who have swum the Tiber, Bosporus, Channel, Rhein, etc, but have always wondered about a few claims: a)
how do your verses from St Paul regarding Tradition prove that the content of such is in any wise different from the content of Scripture; if this Tradition is so necessary for understanding Scripture and the absence of such is often used as a reason for the fragmentation of Protestantism, why are so many different churches (eg, RCC, EOC, non-Chalcedonians, vagante synods, sedevacantists, Old Catholics, etc)claiming to be the repository of it; are we saved by good works, or unto them, as the former infallibly points to works-righteousness; by "free will" do you mean that my unaided reason is capable of choosing either good or evil, or just that my will is free from external compulsion? Just curious.
