What is apostolic tradition? I thought savation comes be believing in Jesus and repenting (Excepting the free gift of salvation.) Now there is some kind of tradition. Romans 10:17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ. If the Bible is the world of God which I am sure it is isn't that enough instead of putting someones tradition into it? |

DarcyA Apostolic verbal traditions in most cases refer to hard to understand passages that many feel were clarified and passed on by the Apostles. Things like are tongue for today or not, How should we baptize, should children be baptized and etc. Basically the things that divide the Protestant denominations. Back when the church was under Papal rule these things problems were settled by the Pope declaring or reciting an Apostolic verbal tradition. This was made easier and became more authoritative by the belief that the Pope was a direct descent of Peter. However as church power became more of a factor in world other factors were allowed to enter into play. Soon things were being done for the wrong reasons power and riches. The reformation came into being to clean up the church. However instead of fixing the problem it allowed itself to be divided from the church. Now instead of one man determining the correct interpretation of a Bible passage we had many. Most claim sola scriptura but in fact their decisions are influenced by past teachings, basis, prejudices, and other things. We see it here on the forum we have good men and women arguing the meaning of scripture not because they one is evil and one is good but because BOTH sides have let outside influences fog the true meaning of the verse. Today these questions get argued and in many cases the church divides into another denomination. At last count I think there was over 1600 different protestant denominations. I'm not sure that this is a better solution. EdB |

Okay, thanks. But my opinion is this the apostles were not perfect for they were Human. When they wrote the scriptures they were inspired by the the Holy Spirit. But I believe other than that they did have some false when it comes to certain doctrines. For example it took a long time for the early church to go to the gentiles, Peter ended up going to the gentiles kicking and screaming. Although Jesus did say to go out into ALL the world and preach the gospel. I think peter that that just meant Israel hince that was once faase "doctrine" He held. Also I think if God thought the bible wasn't good enough He would have use other means today. As goes for different denominations I see them in the bible too for example you had the church at Cornith with its problems ect. and then you have the Galatian Church which had there problems ect. I don't think different denominations is completely a bad thing. Take for instance that this group over here don't believe in the gifts of the Spirit but over here you do, I personally wouldn't feel very good if I had this person speaking in tongues and I didn't believe in it. It would be unconfortable. PS Not saying I don't believe in tongues. |
