The entire new testament is based on oral tradition...do you really think that these teachinge went from one area to another on E-mail??? One group would accept the teachings of Paul, another might say "hey, he's not scriptural so let's ignore him"....it worked exactly that way which is why oral tradition is a very important part of Catholicism....everything was not written down as it happened, but was later gathered and interpreted, and written, and now you have the bible!!! Say Thanks Catholics!!!!
ROFL Make it up as you go is not “oral tradition”. The apostles wrote down everything that the Holy Spirit “brought to their remembrance” and nothing was to be added to it.
>>Say Thanks Catholics!!!!<<
