Bible Question: Since this is not Biblical would you agree with me if I say this is a tradition of men? not of the apostles? |
Bible Answer: Not everything is in the Bible READ - John 21:25 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. 2 Thessalonians 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" The great commission by Christ was to preach not to write. Matthew 28:19-20 "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you" Bible hard to understand gets distorted. 2 Peter 3:15-16 specially by PROTESTant … Resulting in Over 33,82000 Denominations More oral tradition. 2 John 1:12, 3 John 1:13-14 Against personal interpretation. 2 Peter 1:20-21 again PROTESTant is being REMINDED by This verse The Pope and his Catholic Church Guidance needed to interpret scriptures. Acts 8:30-31 Bible Christians Take Notes For the first 1,500 years there were only Catholics …. (no protesters)……..until Fr. Martin Luther O.S.A. an Augustinian monk protested against the Mother Catholic Church due to some bad members of the Church selling “indulgences” (Judas) Thus starting the division (denominations) of Jesus body. PROTESTANT means epeople who PROTESTED against Mother Catholic Church (and that's a fact) GOD BLESS Al Mescallado |
