Do you think EVERY Christian in the year 80 had their own printed bible? How many were there? How many people had their own?

I’d be willing to guess. .000000000001 percent? 1 out of 5 million?

“Do you think EVERY Christian in the year 80 had their own printed bible?”

I’m answering your question. as you DEMANDED. No, every Christian did not have their own Gospel, but likely every church had one.

My point is: God’s word was available to the people thru the pulpit at the very least. they were NOT dependent on “Tradition.”

Hence the Catholic tradition of just making stuff up is bogus.

Buy any indulgences lately? Thats a catholic tradition. For a donation to the church you are pre-forgiven to sin in places like brothels for 24 hours. This is history too.

Its why tradition is NOT the same as scripture. Tradition is as corruptible as man. Scripture is inspired of God.

Why should I trust the Catholics on Mary when they sold indulgences?
Tradition. there ya go.
