As confirmed in this article and the Del Verbum, the scriptures mean nothing. They were only meant to exist until the Church could be established and serves the Church. It is the "holding fast to traditions" that is important. Now where did I hear that one before?

One of the problems with this statement is that the Tradition existed long before the NT Scriptures were written and centuries before they were chosen. And that Tradition continues to this day. The Icons were created to remind the illiterate supermajority of the day of aspects of the Faith. They predated NT Scripture as well.

Aside from the fact that everyone on this forum knows how totally wrong that statement is, can you provide us with exactly what traditions it is that were passed down from the apostles and how we know that they're genuine and the right ones.

What are your sources to verify and validate the traditions you claim were passed on from the apostles (allegedly) before Scripture was was written?
