Where does Paul say what he was referring to was the Bible?

Where does it say it wasn't????? Furthermore where in the New Testament is the word 'Pope' ever found or that Peter was the first 'Pope'?

Colossians 2:8 See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ.

Seems to me Paul had something to say about following after traditions rather than the revealed word of our Lord.

It was YOUR proof text, not mine. You can't expect me to accept a proof text that doesn't provide proof.

I believe right next to the word "Trinity."

The Traditions of the Church are not the traditions Paul was writing about.

Furthermore, if the word of the Lord is so "revealed" why are there so many Protestants that disagree on what it is and says?

Has it escaped your attention that much of the New Testament was written AFTER Paul was martyred? This is a FACT which is universally agreed upon.
