>>He sure sounds confident to me.<<

HE had reason to be confident. He didn’t put artificial restrictions on the Word of God.

No He didn't....in fact, the Word tells us we can have confidence in our salvation in multiple places.

As Paul said in 2 Thes. 2:15 “So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word of mouth or by letter [fn]from us.

And what were those "traditions"?

The papacy? Nope.

Rome as the final authority? Nope

Praying to Mary? Nope

The Rosary? Nope

Transubstantiation? Nope.

Purgatory? Nope

Priests can't marry? Nope

I could go on, but as you can see all of those were much later developments of Roman Catholicism.....not the NT church.

You have no idea what traditions he taught, because they aren’t in the Bible. He said so.

Furthermore, you condemn practices because they aren’t in the Bible, but that’s the point! You keep assuming what we disagree on while the Bible itself doesn’t even validate the claims you make.
