APOSTLES provided us with Christ's revelation - whether given orally or in written word.

I am surprised to see you endorsing Joseph Smith, Mary Baker Eddy, Oral Roberts, James Robertson and all the other self-proclaimed modern receipants of revelation from God. If the Pope can claim this so can any other man. The only sure basis is to stack with that which has been written. But I doub't that your Catholic indoctrination will allow you to see that.

HA! That's funny! Well, I am still waiting for you to show me, from Scripture, that what is written is to be the only thing that is considered the revealed word of God! Where exactly were the Apostles' oral traditions abrogated by the Bible? Which biblical passage gives Protestants a warrant to do away with Apostolic teachings? Is this perhaps a 'tradition of men'... GASP!
