[OLD REGGIE]

explain how "...the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work." through Scripture if it is not sufficient

The man of God will be complete if he learns the Holy Tradition (2 Tim 3:14) as well as Holy Scripture (2 Tim 3:15) which two together are sufficient, just as the Catholic Church teaches.

Paul speaks in the present and past tense. Nowhere does he even hint that it would be fine to "invent" Tradition as required.

Read the scripture with love and attention and you, too, will become Catholic.

I am among the countless millions who found it necessary to leave the corrupted Catholic Church because of the attention and love of Scripture.

[ re 2 Tim 3:14-15] Paul speaks in the present and past tense. Nowhere does he even hint that it would be fine to "invent" Tradition as required

Among other things he says

"from infancy you have known [sic] the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus."

What nonsense! How do infants "know" scripture, or anything for that matter? And how is that possible when such scriptures were not even written yet???

Surely the Old Testament alone (and that was the only scripture in Paul's days) doesn't make anyone "wise for salvation through faith in Chirst Jesus."

I am among the countless millions who found it necessary to leave the corrupted Catholic Church because of the attention and love of Scripture.

My husband, also an ex-RC who fled the papacy at 18, says anyone who remains under the thumb of Rome reveals a lack of grace.

Seems about right. From darkness to light.

I agree, and so does the Church. One does not invent traditions, one keeps them. We sure do. Inventing traditions is Protestantism and we condemn it for that.

because of the attention and love of Scripture

You cannot figure out the scenes of the Crucifixion and the Empty Tomb from the scripture but you are attentive to the scripture?
