That is because all creeds, even correct ones, compete with the authority of the Bible. Tradition #4: Uninspired man-made creeds, "Rule of Faith" (regula fidei) (1 Cor 15:3-6; 1 Timothy 3:16; 2 Timothy 2:8) The early church stated that every single thought and phrase of all early creeds were believed to be ... 4, 1-2) "there is one only God, and that He is none other than the Creator of the world, who produced all things out of nothing through His own Word, first of all sent forth; that this Word is called His Son, and, under the name of God, was seen "in diverse manners" by the patriarchs, heard at all times in the prophets, at last brought down by the Spirit and Power of the Father ... For how should it be if the apostles themselves had not left us writings?

354: Ellen G. White found guilty of plagiarism (copying)
Since the Dark Ages, when truth was chained to the wall of the library so that no one could take it out of the vault (even with a library card), mankind had to receive and accept what was handed out by the church fathers.

365: Will any religion get me to heaven as long as I am Sincere?
If there is no other way to salvation than through Christ, as he clearly stated here, then sincerity alone will not do, will it? One of the classical examples of a man who was unquestionably sincere, and yet lost, out of Christ, and even an arch enemy of the early church, is that of Saul of Tarsus. Saul had even participated in the murder of the first Christian martyr, Stephen (Acts 7: 58). He "made havoc of the church ... and haling (dragging) men and women committed ... John was speaking of this in I John, Chapter 3, verse 4, when he said, "Sin is the transgression of the law". In course of time a Christian named Ananias informed Saul, "Why tarriest thou? Arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord" Acts 22: 16. Yet Saul's story ends happily because when he learned the error of his way, he was sincere enough to turn from his sins to Christ and he went on to become the great Apostle Paul. Let's look at another New Testament example. In Acts Chapter 2, ... ...
