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.

stop laughing...you repeated what I said....now remember this happened 2,000 years ago and the apostles were itinerent preachers who moved from one point to another....I really don't think that they transcribed their experiences as they went along. Tape recorders probably were not in use. They, at meetings, recalled what happened and where. I'm sure that they, at one time or another, had someone take notes so as to pass their message to others. The totality of what they taught and said was preserved for you by the Catholic church....say "Thanks Catholics"!!!

I say "Thank you, God" because He said:

The words of the LORD [are] pure words: [as] silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. – Psalms 12:6-7

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper [in the thing] whereto I sent it. - Isaiah 55:11

To God be the glory, not man, never man.

I’m stunned that a person who calls themselves a Christian would make a statement like that. What part of do you not understand? Do you think the Holy Spirit needed to “transcribe” or use “tape recorders? Or is it that you don’t believe Jesus was serious when He told the disciples not to worry because He would send the Holy Spirit to “bring to their remembrance” what He taught? Catholics really need to stop worshiping the RCC and using their writings as scripture and honestly study what Jesus said and what the apostles taught by the “inspiration of the Holy Spirit”.
