I guess, my impulsive answer would be this: I would say Scripture is the most important...but without Reason, General Revelation, Experience, Tradition, and Emotions, how would I understand Scripture or rather would I have come to accept Scripture? I can't be sure. This was kind of my thought. I keep reading it over and over. It keep growing on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are all equally important to you, then this is fine, as long as it is the truth. If this were in outer court, there could also be replies that none of them fit. Nothing it the truth to them. Understanding what we see on our "stage of truth" allows us to look and evaluate how we see truth and if how we see truth needs to be reevaluated or if we are satisfied with how it is .

Rarely a person can, but most can't. Remember, this is not to debate what is right or wrong, but to look at how we find out truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scripture - the bible 2. Tradition - Reason -.General Revelation - Experience - Emotions -should not be on the list nor considered Emotions are such a huge part of our makeup as human beings. I had been to church all my life and was a good and decent person. It was not until I was faced with raw emotion of despair, fear, hope, panic, grief, worry, etc. did I fall upon my knees and for the first time in my very selfish life pray that God would take me and show me what I needed to do - to give me a chance - just a chance to serve Him and please let me have the chance to be what He wanted me to be... Had it not been for those raw and exposed emotions over which I had no control - did I scream out to God and ask Him to Help Me .... Many people have to be at an emotional tsunami to be humbled to really and truly seek God. I had, up until that moment of decision, been just going 'through the motions' and not really trusting.
