Actually, FK, I know with utmost certainty that the New Testament (not all Scripture) is a result of the Holy Tradition.

And here I thought it was God-breathed into men chosen by God and led by the Holy Spirit to be vessels of His perfect Word.

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" -- 2 Timothy 3:16

"For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." -- 2 Peter 1:21

"Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual." -- 1 Corinthians 2:12-13

Dr. E, you are off the target. I am sorry, I really do not believe you understand this topic at all.

The individual scrolls that make up the New Testament were God-inspired and written by the Apostles (or so we believe). The New Testament was compiled by the Church and officially canonized in 397 A.D. Do you DENY these FACTS?
