"You have gotten answers many times."

On the few times there was a response it was an obfuscation usually around 2 Timothy 3:16. Not once has anyone ever answered the question. I do admit that it is a trick question, though because the answer is not in Scripture.

It’s there if you want to be absolutely sure you are following the words of God. The only infallible words are found in scripture. No other source has proven infallibility. Jesus Himself used scripture to refute Satan. Jesus always quoted scripture. Name one time when He referred to “tradition” in a positive way. Throughout scripture we are shown that the written word is to be relied on to prove the words of men. Scripture itself claims its infallibility. Those who rely on tradition can not make that claim. I think we are in good company relying solely on scripture as the base of belief.

Catholics should head the scripture.

Matthew 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

2 Timothy 3:16,17 - All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching & furnishing to all good works.

Not so tradition.

Amazing..... Criticizing people for a belief because it's not found in Scripture when the Catholic church teaches lots of stuff that's not found in Scripture and when challenged on it their response is basically *Well, just because it's not in Scripture doesn't mean it didn't happen* or *Well, Scripture doesn't SAY it didn't happen so therefore we can claim it did and nobody can prove it didn't.*

The Trinity is not found in Scripture by name. Do you disallow that as well?

The perpetual virginity of Mary and her alleged immaculate conception, and her alleged assumption are also not found in Scripture but the Catholic church teaches them as fact.

The hypocrisy is staggering.
