*Apostolic Tradition* creates nothing but lies.

Why would you say that when you clearly know Apostle (or Disciple) Paul said THIS to those converts of his mission....? He hopefully wasn’t referring to OT Jewish traditions.... though just the same, Tradition is how faith was practiced for these guys... for a long time.....

KJV
15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.

I think you meant to say the Catholic Church Apostolic Tradition succession....

Tradition is something like celebrating Christmas or Easter.

Or Fourth of July.

It’s something done on a regular basis that helps define a culture.

It is NOT a substitute for teaching Scripture and Truth about God.

though just the same, Tradition is how faith was practiced for these guys... for a long time.....

And you know this how?

Do you honestly believe that they had NO Scripture on which to rely? Or rather, do you honestly expect us to believe that they had no Scripture on which to rely?

[Elsie]

...whether by word, or our epistle.

These two should match.

If they do not; I wonder which of them is wrong?

[ebb tide]

15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

I'm surprised you quoted that; considering
