This entire thread is full of misconceptions ( if a misconceptions is intended
to deceive, then it's a lie.
Did I say I put the Bible over Tradition? No, you lied.
I have always said Bible plus Tradition. Your (one of them) problem Billie
is you are unaware there is more than one way to use the word Tradition.
Here is one way to use the word Tradition when combined with the Bible.
1 Cor 11:2---hold fast to traditions I handed on to you
2Thess 2:15--hold fast to traditions, whether oral or by letter
2Thess 3:6---shun those acting not according to tradition
Jn 21:25--not everything Jesus said recorded in scripture
Acts 20:35--Paul records a saying of Jesus not found in gospels
Rom 10:17--faith comes from what is heard
Mt 23:2-3--chair of Moses;observe whatever they tell you
There are many more scriptures supporting tradition in the OT and NT.
Jesus and the apostles taught by way of tradition.
My sole purpose in these writings is to challenge and refute teachings, traditions, rituals, etc., which are claimed to be Biblical -- yet, are not.
billie, you say---yet, are not. Prove tradition isn't Biblical.
