Galatians 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
If it's not you had better show a different source that shows what the apostles taught.
1Co_4:6 And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.
They can bet their lives that this is not a reference to what is written in their catechism...
Nope, John is talking about what he himself has written, in that letter, and he doesn't come close to saying that there is nothing else that is true.
1Co_4:6 And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.
It's a reference to what was written in the letter:
For while one saith, I indeed am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollo; are you not men? What then is Apollo, and what is Paul? [5] The ministers of him whom you have believed; and to every one as the Lord hath given. [6] I have planted, Apollo watered, but God gave the increase. [7] Therefore, neither he that planteth is any thing, nor he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
Throughout the letter, Paul was admonishing his followers not to forget that they were all following Jesus, not the Apostles, and not to think higher of men like Paul and Apollo than Paul had just written to explain.
The bible wasn't completed when this letter was written, so Paul couldn't possible have meant to only believe what hadn't been written yet. I doubt he knew that his letters would end up as several books of the bible.

Topic of this letter is circumcision. Paul was explaining that those preaching that circumcision was required to become a follower of Christ were wrong. Those preachers were following what was in the bible as regards circumcision, and Paul told them not only did they not have to be circumcised, but that they shouldn't be.
It is doubtful that Paul would be saying that only what is in the bible was true, because he just contradicted it. He said, what I preach to you is more true than what is in the bible. Since the New Testament wasn't written yet, he was saying what is NOT written in the bible is the truth.

They have bet their lives on it.
I’m not going to post on this thread anymore. I worship the Trinity and I love Our Lady. Take it as you like.
God bless us all.
