Too bad about what happened "subsequently."
Finally with regard to the organ of tradition it must be an official organ, a magisterium, or teaching authority.
"An official organ" by whose standards? The catholic church's, right? They look to flesh for their teaching rather than God. To them, the revelation of God is found in the wisdom of man. They have no concept of Spiritual instruction as taught to us in 1 Cor. 2.

. They look to flesh for their teaching rather than God. To them, the revelation of God is found in the wisdom of man.
Our claim is that there are some doctrines which have as their source the oral teachings of Christ and the Apostles rather than the Scriptures. You claim that these don't exist. Your logic reduces to this syllogism:
All Christian doctrine is contained in the Bible
Doctrine "x" is not contained in the Bible
Therefore, Doctrine"X" is not Christian.
My objection is that your major premise is not contained in the Bible.
