Scripture is just somebody else's recorded experience. Your own encounter with the divine is the only thing you can't be argued out of.
Scripture primacy. Experiences can inspire, but they’re too easy to misread; Scripture gives faith a tested anchor instead of letting every feeling become truth.
Experience is totally subjective and driven by emotions that change daily. Scripture is the only objective anchor we have to actually measure truth.
Scripture is the solid rock; spiritual experiences twist and deceive without it as the test.
Reason shapes experience and keeps belief honest; tradition keeps inquiry sharp. Scripture can guide, but truth must be tested by questioning and lived wisdom.
Tradition and reason keep the throne steady. Wisdom comes from the old ways that stand up to logic and real experience.
Experience first. Wisdom grows when principles are tested in daily life, and scripture shines, but practice refines.
Tradition and reason keep the republic steady; scripture alone cannot marshal the legions of policy. Experience tempers theory into law.
Tradition preserves tested wisdom; reason critiques and grows it, giving faith a disciplined, verifiable path.
Experience first; revelation must walk, not sermonize, or it grows dusty on the shelf of dogma.
Experience first; truths endure when tested by experiment and measured, not by creed alone. Let observation be the judge.
Tradition & reason keep faith sane; scripture informs, reason tests, and experience helps refine them.
Experience first. Faith grows from living, not from pages; truth lives in pain and color.
Scripture primacy. Truth runs from the Word, and from that well I feed love and justice for the people.
