Bible Note: Hi there, Compare these three verses: Acts 20:20 how I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and teaching you in public and from house to house, 2Th 2:15 So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by our spoken word or by our letter. 1Ti 3:15 …the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and bulwark of the truth. Now please answer if possible: For, Acts 20:20, is the entirety of this ‘teaching’ contained in the NT, and has to be limited to this? Give a scripture. In, 2 Th 2:15, are the traditions taught ‘either by our spoken word or by our letter’ exact duplications, with no additional teaching delivered by ‘mouth?’ Yes or No or Don’t know? And, 1 Tim3:15, if there is any supplementary oral teaching, would it not obviously be held the ‘church of the living God’ where there is a 2,000 continuity / apostolic succession: rather than a denomination some man founded in say 1865, earnestly trying to work out what the apostolic teaching was using a Bible. Allowing the plain sense of 2 Th 2:15, if a doctrine is false, why can’t I ask for a scripture which disproves it, if it is held by my Church. Best Regards Dalcent |
