[Mrs. Don-o]

I did read it. Please explain how we "got" Scripture.except by Tradition, i.e.

• the Spirit-inspired handing down, and then writing, of oral teaching and preaching, and
• the Spirit-inspired indentification of what was "Scripture" (the actual "table of contents") via the common practice of the churches.)

  I'm interested in what you have to say.

[ealgeone]

Roman Catholics keep getting hung on the "table of contents".

I'm surprised they even accepted the original council rulings as they didn't contain the imprimatur and nihil obstat stamps.

Still awaiting your answer on which canons/rulings, etc you accept....or reject.

The Holy Spirit inspired the writing of Scripture.

There is no case for the teaching to having been passed down through oral teachings, which is not tradition, and then copied down at some later date some hundreds of years later.

Catholics are the ones claiming they follow the traditions passed down from the apostles that were not written down in Scripture.

OK, what are they?
