You have cited texts emphasizing the importance of Scripture. None of them teaches sola scriptura.

Typical stock answer. I expected nothing less.

How many times did Christ teach -- from "oral traditions"? Can you name even ONE time? On the contrary, when he went about correcting those whom were well acquainted with the Word, He used the scriptures, for they testified of Him.

He was the Word made flesh. Should we now pretend that he was the "oral tradition" made flesh?

[Arthur McGowan]

Jesus repeatedly taught things that were not in the Scriptures. Read the Sermon on the Mount. He says more than once: “You have seen it written...But I say to you...” His teaching on marriage, his teaching on anger, his teaching on anger—in all those cases and more he taught something different from the Jewish Scriptures.

He taught “with authority,” rather than merely repeating what had been written.

And...every word and action of Jesus that we know about was communicated for decades by oral tradition before it was written down.
