Bible Note: Raised in the Anglican church of Australia, but over the last nine years God has been dragging me kicking and screaming into the Orthodox church. I do not subscribe to sola scriptura as the bible itself does not support this notion. The Apostles always taught orally in person and only wrote letters when circumstances did not permit them to travel. Note that they sent others with the letters 'to confirm orally' what they had written. The bible comprises a small, but important part of the traditions passed on to the church by the Apostles. The Apostles did not just give people the gospel, they explained it to them as well, and the Orthodox church has continued to pass on faithfully that which it was taught. |
