𝔚𝔥𝔦𝔱𝔢𝔅𝔢𝔞𝔯𝔡 hits on a fundamental reason why I am a Protestant, here. I have faith in the person and work of Christ! I have faith that the prophets and the apostles wrote God’s inspired words in Scripture. I do not have faith in the infallibility of councils, nor popes, nor in the traditions that arose hundreds of years after the apostles died by any historical standard. There is nothing in Scripture which demands of me, “do not believe your lying eyes!” Yet so many extra-biblical traditions demand exactly that. For instance, I have no interest in trying to justify the claims of Second Nicaea from squinting at obscure 4th century texts in exactly the right light while ignoring the mountain of early patristic (and biblical) evidence against it. Am I then obligated to anathematize Christians who disagree with these ahistorical claims? No, I don’t think that I will. The vast history of Christianity over the last 2,000 years is a wonderful servant to the Church today! But a terrible master.
