“Did you miss the letter from Irenaeus I posted above?”
I saw it, whatever significance it has exists in your mind. Did you miss the obvious logical problem there is when asserting that quotes from the New Testament were actually from an oral tradition, and not from the scripture wherein they appear? Did the Apostle John memorize the epistles of Peter and Paul, and the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, so as to pass it on to Polycarp verbally who quoted them from this same “memory” instead of from the actual text?
