Jesus did not give the Apostle's a book and say “here you guys follow it”
Oral Tradition came first!
Accept it!
There's only one verse in the entire NT wherein TRADITION
IS REMOTELY positive.
Throughout the Gospels, Christ rails at
TRADITIONS OF MEN--EVEN THOSE ENSCONCED UNDER SOME SCRIPTURAL JURY-RIGGED, RATIONALIZED UMBRELLA
CHRIST RAILS AT MUCH MORE FIERCELY than is allowable hereon.
The RC edifice's magicsterical pile of stinking !!!!TRADITIONS!!!! and doctrines of men are just the sorts of layers of 'buffer' and 'burdens to bear' that Jesus railed at RELIGIOUS POLITICAL PONTIFICATORS against 2000 years ago.
CHRIST DIED TO REMOVE
all such from the spiritual lives of folks who authentically
TRUST IN GOD--AND GOD ALONE as the song goes.
HIS DEATH WAS ACCOMPANIED BY A RENDING OF THE VEIL IN THE TEMPLE.
And centuries of the RC magicstericals have been adding an ever thickening veil to replace it ever since. They just place it more than a little metaphorically on the face of the caraciture of the Magnificent Magical Earth-Mother Mary as an enticement for the millions of folks suffering a MOMMY/DADDY deficit of love as a very clever kind of seduction away from a focus
