Stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught, either by an oral statement or by a letter of ours.”
~ St. Paul to the Thessalonians
A huge part of why I came home to my Catholic Faith. A year and a half journey ...home. And I have to say, where I once found the glass half empty, it is as though the Holy Spirit now fills the glass with amazing wisdoms.
A huge part of why I came home to the Catholic Faith from being a Bible Christian is that I investigated all these things and more and found them to be true.
Hear from both sides, not one side says about the other!
Books of the OT, thrown out by the Jews in 90A.D. (the Temple was destryoed in 70AD)..., well the Jewish religion had been cut from the vine before then(Romans 11) and Christianity grafted in. So Protestantism following that lead is dangerous, especially when either the apostles or Jesus(the NT) mentions and quotes these books in our NT.

The Holy Spirit has nothing to do with anything that any catholic would call “wisdom.”

Now, brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying, "Do not go beyond what is written." Then you will not take pride in one man over against another.
~ St. Paul to the Corinthians (1-4:6)
