Like this, for instance? "Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle." 2 Thess 2:15 KJV

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.

Some better questions: What is your source before 325 AD (when the Council of Nicaea formally codified the New Testament)? And do you assume the scriptural compilation agreed upon at the Council of Nicaea was infallible as Catholic Tradition holds? If not, why assume that your Bible is valid? Without Catholic Tradition, the council is nothing but a bunch of old bishops glueing together their personal hand-picked selections.
