The apostles preached first then wrote books. The oral word is the key to understanding the written word because it safeguards against heresies.

How nuts is that??? You don't have the oral word other than was written in the written word...And the written word was there long before any of your religious fathers showed up...

No more nuts than you making things up as you go along.

The Apostles did not write down every critical point or you could take us to the definitive chapter on trinitarian theology.
