Nice strawman -- JEsus preached the Gospel to them -- He preached His good news. Some of it is encapsulated, as Ann said, in Matthew Mark Luke and John. The rest as is referred in scripture -- John 21: 25 "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.", hence we have Holy Tradition.
Jesus preached the Gospel, we have a, well, shortened version that is encapsulated in Matthew, MArk, Luke and John.
When the epistles were written the gospels had not been written , yet the epistles refer to the gospel .. the gospel is a specific message of Christ that was taught by the writers of the epistles . I thought that maybe as a student of the bible you might know what it is --> naturally, the Epistles were referring to the Holy Tradition which kept the Gospel of Christ alive. The Epistles refer to THIS. Hence thank you for proving that Holy Tradition was necessary and that it preserved the Gospel and that the written Gospels only encapsulate part of the overall Good News (Gospel)

What ever is not contained in the inspired word of God was not thought important enough or relevant to our salvation by the Holy Spirit
What is your assurance that the traditions you like so much are from God and not men?

Where did Peter or paul teach traditions of men? One more time..what was the good news that Jesus preached and the apostles preached BEFORE the gospels were written?What does your TRADITION tell you the good news is

Good...Now you can explain what these traditions are that Jesus DID and who he revealed them to...
