>> There are many, one example being the tradition of sola scriptura.<<

Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

Hmm. Interesting that Paul would commend them for searching the SCRIPTURE to see if even what he taught was correct.

Then there is the fact that Jesus said 25 times “it is written”. Can you show me where He commended tradition?

Of course there is this.

“But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.” Galatians 1:8-9

Of course I’m sure you can show proof of where the apostles taught something that wasn’t written down in scripture?

If you can’t. Then whatever is taught that you can’t prove the apostles taught constitutes “another gospel” and that is a rather serious error. I’m sure you would want to prove that the RCC or anyone else who teaches something not found in scripture can be proven was taught by the apostles right? Or would you agree that scripture is the source we should go to in order to prove what they teach is what the apostles taught? Aka sola scriptura.

Perhaps AH can answer these questions, as there have been no other takers......

Just what are those traditions Paul was referring to that he handed down that we are to keep that were not included in Scripture?

How do you know?

How do you know they’re from the apostles, Paul in particular?

How do you know they’ve been passed down faithfully?

What is your source for verifying all of the above?
Please provide the sources for verification purposes.
