"In essence scripture is the apostolic teaching WRITTEN DOWN."

Except that the Apostle John specifically teaches that "everything that Christ did was not written".

Your claim that EVERYTHING was written down is simply bogus. There were unwritten doctrines in the Old Testament. Assuming that there were and are none in the New is simply not justified.

Wonder,
Yes there were many things that Jesus did that we’re not written down....BUT the context of the statement was that all that is needed for salvation WAS written down.
That again leads me to the question I asked..what doctrines NOT found in scripture but are essential to salvation are found tradition only?? If there aren’t any then all that is needed for salvation was written down....

In regard to unwritten traditions that you bind the conscience of believers to what are they???. Marian doctrines?? Where are they in the early fathers?? And I mean the apostolic fathers and second century fathers that are closer to apostolic teaching....it is interesting to see that in stromata Book 7 written by clement of Alexandria chapter 16....he denies the perpetual virginity of Mary....so I guess unwritten tradition didnt extend to him
