To: one Lord one faith one baptism
So, when Paul says to Timothy in 2 Timothy 3...

"14But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it 15and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.

He didn't really mean JUST Scripture? He meant that Scripture wasn't good enough on its own when he said that?

Where's the mention of tradition? Maybe he forgot it?

yes, it doesn’t say “just scripture” does it? besides, the “scripture” he is referring to is the OT. I gave you a verse that tells you to hold to the tradition, do you?

“continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you have learned it” Did Timothy only believed the doctrines Paul wrote down or is he referring to all he taught Timothy while they travelled together and spent probably years talking together? Sometimes a little common sense will go a long way!
