George: Acts 17:10-11 (King James Version)
10) And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11) These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
See john, THEY SEARCHED THE SCRIPTURES DAILY, NOT TRADITIONS DAILY. WHATS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE ANYHOW ? ARE YE ALL SPIRITUALLY BLIND ?

J. Salza: George, let me help you out.
1. It doesn’t say they searched the Scriptures “alone.”
2. The Scriptures they did search were the Old Testament Scriptures to verify that Jesus was the Messiah. Are you saying that the OT Scriptures are sufficient?
3. They accepted Paul’s oral preaching as the Word of God even before they searched the Scriptures, which also poses a problem for you. Do you accept the oral apostolic tradition as well?
4. You cannot find one verse in Scripture that says Scripture is the only infallible authority of God’s word, and yet that is what you presume.
5. King James based his bible translation off the Latin Vulgate, which was translated by Jerome under Pope Damasus and the Catholic Church, before the KJV came out. Why do “YOU PEOPLE” use a Catholic book to ridicule the very institution who gave you the book?
Also, don’t quote anymore from the KJV. He was a sodomite with no religious authority over me, you or anyone else. Also, his wife figured it out. She became a Catholic.

1st - the false claim that King James was a Homosexual came from the fact that he had a man or men in his bed. THIS was a trusted warrior/swordsman that was there to protect the King, mostly from the Catholics. Anthony Weldon (1583-1648) is commonly credited with starting the malicious rumor that King James was a sodomite. Anthony Weldon (1583-1648) was dismissed from King James' court, vowing to get revenge, who afterwards wrote a retaliatory malicious paper in 1650, twenty-five years after the death of James. He wrote a paper calling James a homosexual. Obviously, James, being dead, was in no condition to defend himself. There is not even a minute trace of solid evidence of King James being a homosexual. 2nd - One should read his letters to his son's regarding their bodies belonging to their wives. And taken the stellar moral actions of the Catholic church during this time, it is no wonder a religious man would try to set himself apart from the murderous times of the "church" of his mother. It should also be noted that the Catholic Church was so desperate to keep the true Bible out of the hands of the English people that it attempted to kill King James and all of Parliament in 1605.
