Why did Jesus never point directly to Scripture?
Why did Jesus not carry (Old Testament)
Scripture with him?
Jesus clearly used the Oral Tradition HIMSELF!
You don’t get it at all, Jesus HIMSELF was using precisely the method that the Apostles and Early Church Fathers used.
Read Scripture, Memorize Scripture, SPEAK Scripture from memory as very few actual, valid copies existed.
And NO “Bible” of all the recognized Scripture existed until the Catholic Church produced the first Bible.
I thought oral tradition wasn’t found in scripture.
Because a Torah Scroll plus Neviim and Ketubim weighs 40 pounds and nobody had yet invented a big-wheel Tenach wagon to pull over rocky ground?
>> “Why did Jesus never point directly to Scripture?” <<
He did nothing but quote his own Tanakh almost every time he spoke.
No one “carried” Tanakh with them, they resided in the temple and the synagogues. Yeshua need not carry it because he wrote it.
Yeshua denounced all oral tradition, and held to his Torah completely.
The “scriptures” are the Tanakh. That is what Paul Peter and John called scripture, and what the Bereans used to verify the teachings of all.
Please spare us any more catholic fairy tales.
Why do you COMPLETELY ignore #363???
