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.

What was the Good News Jesus preached cronos? Do you know?

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.

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?

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

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

The Word made flesh, Jesus, set us free. Man made traditions are used to chain us.

Remember what Jesus said about the Pharisees, how they place heavy burdens on the backs of others.

Thanks for pushing the relevant question, RnMomof7.

It is fascinating that Romanists see the Gospel as a set of books.

They see it as a “to-do manual”.

Let’s pray God opens they eyes and ears to know it has nothing to do with doing.

Yes, thank you for asking, as a Catholic, I have some idea, thank you. You too can learn about it

Jesus Christ preached the Gospe -- 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. It's wrong to make one's own opinion on Johjn 21 -- that says clearly that Jesus taught and did much, much more

Jesus preached the Gospel, we have a, well, shortened version that is encapsulated in Matthew, MArk, Luke and John.

The Apostles taught us the Traditions of God -- the Holy Tradition, this is different from the traditions of men like Calvin etc.

The Good News that Christ preached is contained in Holy Tradition, so hence partially in Scripture -- as John 21 points out. The good news is on redemption of sins and on His coming kingdom -- ref Mat 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom: and healing all manner of sickness and every infirmity, among the people
