Bible Note: Steve wrote: "The only difference between written and oral teaching would not be authoritative because it's not God's word." ---------------- Al's Answer ------------------ I see but tell me if these verses below is not authoritative? and if it is not says who? Paul speaks of oral tradition as authoritative - 2 Thess. 2:15, 2 Tim. 2:2, 1 Cor. 11:2, 1 Thess. 2:13 Paul speaks of oral tradition as authoritative. 2Thessalonians 2:15 "Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle." Early Christians followed apostolic tradition - Acts 2:42, 2 Timothy 2:2 "And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit Thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also" Steve wrote: 1 Tim 3:15 is a metaphor. 1 Cor 12 calls the church a body. Same thing--different picture. ------------------- Al Answer ---------------- is this your personal interpretation? or Gods word? I pray and hope that I don't have to keep reposting these same verses because it does not suit your Theology. God Bless Al |
