Say what?
2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
Would you say that it gets better than what scripture calls “perfect, thoroughly furnished”? Did the Holy Spirit forget to tell Paul to include some except phrases or did Paul neglect to write that part down?
Now let’s look at how “tradition” is mentioned and treated in scripture.
II Thessalonians 2:15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
Paul didn’t say scripture and tradition were separate truths. He says whether they were delivered orally or in writing. There aren’t two different things there, it’s simply at times it was delivered in writing and sometimes only orally due to a lack of written copies or whatever. Even the Catholic Church, when accused of keeping written scripture from the lay people, will sanctimoniously proclaim that it was only due to not having printing presses so the gospel could only be given orally.
Which is why the Catholic church proclaims that both scripture and tradition are equally valid and one cannot be properly understood without the other.
Presumably that would account for your distaste for sanctimony.
