If it isn’t in the Bible, God’s Word...
And it wasn’t included in the Apostles tradition that was passed along while the Apostles were alive, as referenced in I Thess. 2:15... “So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter.”
Then it is simply an accretion of the centuries added by the traditions of men and should be rejected whenever contradicts God’s Word or adds to it.
These traditions of men include a boatload of falsehood that is now part of the doctrine of the church, unfortunately.

“Then it is simply an accretion of the centuries added by the traditions of men and should be rejected whenever contradicts God’s Word or adds to it.
These traditions of men include a boatload of falsehood that is now part of the doctrine of the church, unfortunately.”
So you believe that apostolic authority ended with the death of the last Apostle.
Where exactly does the bible teach this?
