1. By acceptance of theological assumptions as truth when their bases is faulty. (verse 2)

2. By interpreting truth from the bases of tradition. (verse 14)

3. By requiring adherence to church law at the expense of truth. (verse 22)

4. By establishing the authority of truth by citing history. (verses 28,29)

5. By attempting to preserve reputation at the expense of the authentic. (verse 41)
