Yes, those have been written, but there are other teachings that are not written.

I can’t remember exactly what it is, but Paul says that Jesus said something.....to me that is Holy Tradition. No where in the Bible is Christ directly quoted as saying it. I’ll find out exactly what it was and let you know.

Sort of funny — Paul quoting Jesus, and it’s the only place in the Bible that this saying appears.

Is this it? Paul confirms all he learned of the Gospel came by revelation from Christ. I would say that is not tradition but direct revelation, which Paul by his epistles gave to us in writing.

Galatians 1:11-17 NASB

For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ. For you have heard of my former manner of life in Judaism, how I used to persecute the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it; and I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries among my countrymen, being more extremely zealous for my ancestral traditions.

But when God, who had set me apart even from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace, was pleased to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with flesh and blood, nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went away to Arabia, and returned once more to Damascus.

First, you have to quit perverting the scriptures...

Gal_1:7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

John did not say that there were other teaching...John said Jesus did other things...

What are you talking about...The entirety of the 4 Gospels is apostles quoting Jesus...

I can’t remember exactly what it is, but Paul says that Jesus said something.....to me that is Holy Tradition

Yes it is...Tradition that is past, before Paul wrote his epistles...All tradition Paul spoke of was past tradition...Not a single thing about future tradition after the Apostles were gone...

So exactly what *holy tradition* was it that Paul taught that was not written down but passed along person to person, face to face, by word of mouth?

How do you know its source was Paul?

How do you know it was passed on faithfully, without corruption?

Could you provide the links verifying those claims?

Like in Acts 21:22 and Acts 26:16-18 where Jesus told Paul that He was sending him to preach the gospel to the Gentiles?
