>> “The Faith was an ORAL tradition.” <<

Absolutely not!
Yeshua completely rejected oral tradition; that is why he and his apostles constantly said “it is written” whenever they presented doctrine.
Oral tradition fails at every transfer. It is corrupt instantly.
To say that the Oral Tradition PREDOMINATED for MOST Christians of the Early Church in no way requires that NO Written Scripture existed.
Yes, the Oral Tradition predominated in the Early Church, for most Christians. EVERY Christian Scholar worth his salt will agree with me on that point. (You are NOT a Scholar as you claimed, FALSELY, that the Jewish/Hebrew translations of the Greek, used to debate Christians, were original Hebrew and NOT translations. You can not find ANY reputable historian who agrees with you on that point.)
Yes, there were rare pieces of Scripture, but the Bible did not exist until nearly 400 years into the Christian Era. Scripture was large, heavy, cumbersome, not at all easy to copy or transport, it was perishable and it was expensive and it was rare.
I did not say it did not exist.
One of the reasons the Early Church, at the Council of Hippo in North Africa, wanted an OFFICIAL text is because the Scribes who copied the Scripture, as well as the Evangelicals who RECITED Scripture, were not saying exactly the same thing to their congregations, changes were made over time.
For Heaven's sake, basic LANGUAGE changes over time.
Have you ever tried to read original Shakespeare?
And of course, using Latin actually helped the Church preserve the meaning and context of original Scripture.
