Dan,you said that the reformers accepted apostolic tradition the ecumenical councils. Well how about the 7th ecumenical council which dealt with the Iconoclast controversy which began with Leo the 3rd in the first half of the 7th century which touched on the veneration of Icons and all the veneration of saints.the 7th council rejected this heresy and affirmed the veneration of Icons
as orthodox.Did the refomers accept this ecumenical council? It sounds to me that you see Tradition as nothing more then the other side of scripture. I see Tradition as an on going process. even to this day. and if we do not who writer
of Hebrews why should be accepted as part of the cannon what about the book of James Luther had a problem with this book because it seemed to go against his Pauline view Grace.
