2 Thess 15: "Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
2 Tim 13-14: "Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us."
2 Tim 2: "And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also."

Yes, some the few Bible verses catholics throw (out of context). To buy the catholic misuse of these verses one would have to believe that the Apostles were inspired by God to write one thing and preached something entirely different.
It doesn't seem to matter that God condemned idolatry in both the Old and New Testaments rome has suckered you people into praying to idols. It doesn't matter that Jesus clearly stated:

JOHN 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

rome has you looking for Salvation in rituals.
It doesn't matter that God told us in the Holy Bible:

I TIMOTHY 2:5 For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
I TIMOTHY 2:6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

rome has you praying to imperfect humans as mediator between God and you.

To buy the catholic misuse of these verses one would have to believe that the Apostles were inspired by God to write one thing and preached something entirely different.

Not at all. One would just have to believe that the writings and the oral traditions both draw from the same source--the inspiration of the Holy Ghost. Truth can never contradict itself.

The apostles wrote and preached the same exact things--the difficulty you are having is that you are attempting to understand what they wrote outside of the context of what they taught. That's why it seems contradictory to you.

But I really wanted you to answer my other question, post 229--how do we get from God deciding the canon, to man knowing what that canon is and putting it together?
