And Scripture is NOTHIHG other than the Oral Tradition, reduced to writing, some 200 to 300 years AFTER the death of the last Apostle.

That's not what Paul tells us.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

Now..... Who should I believe?

Paul?

Or an anonymous internet poster?

Huh?
WHERE in your post does Paul EVER say that that the “word” was written down IMMEADIATELY after it was spoken by Jesus?

And besides, you do notice, do you not, that various quotations from Jesus, which happened at the same time, are reported slightly differently depending on the Book of the Bible you read?

Same with the 10 Commandments by the way, so it happens in all Books.

Lets be blunt, when you go to the Christian Book Store and buy a Bible, is GOD writing down every Word in the back room, while you are out front buying a copy?

NO!

And has any original Scribe, or Translator, or Printer EVER made a mistake in any Bible?

YES!

Your quote does nothing at all to support your position.

My position is that the Bible is a TOOL originally created by the Catholic Church.

Jesus never commanded a Bible. Not once.

And did Paul tell us what Books were Scripture, in his mind, and which Books were not?

THERE WAS NO BIBLE WHEN PAUL SPOKE THOSE WORDS!

And, btw

I am Paul
