Perhaps there are things we are NOT SUPPOSED to know, or maybe scripture contains an overview of ALL the work of Christ.

Or maybe, as Paul says when he advises people to hold on to what he has passed on to them, which is the very meaning of "tradition", there are traditions which are also worth consulting.

2 Timothy 3:15-17 and Jude 1:3.
The sacred writings . . . are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work. . . . Contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints.

As the post with the words of the early Fathers pointed out..if it can not be confirmed in scripture it is a tradition of men and NOT GOD.

Col 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
