“The Scripture Timothy knew from infancy and what Paul is referring to is The Old Testament. The New Testament wasn’t written at the time of Timothys infancy. This doesnt mean what some want it to mean. Paul was telling Timothy that Christ did fulfill the OT prophecies, that Timothy was “made wise” for the salvation of Christ. Nowhere do the apostles tell future generations that the Christian faith will be based solely on a book” —> well put

I guess I'll ask you then. If the both the Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches claim to follow apostolic oral tradition, how is it that they teach doctrine so differently?
How do I know whose oral traditions are correct?
