To: Mrs. Don-o

Also, extrapolating the justification for *sacred tradition* (teaching that something not found or substantiated in Scripture) from the claim that acceptance of Scripture as authoritative is wholly based on tradition, is not a valid argument for it.

Scripture is NEVER subservient to tradition, no matter how that tradition is packaged.

Nor is the Holy Spirit ever credited or named in Scripture as the *Guardian of Apostolic Tradition*.

That’s a total fabrication by the Catholic church.

At every turn, the Catholic church seeks to diminish the integrity and validity of the very God breathed Holy Spirit inspired word of God.

Whether it’s by putting it under the authority of tradition, or the claims that it’s merely written tradition, it’s diminishing God’s word.

Has God REALLY said.....????

Absent Tradition, I perceive a big hole at the very outset of the historic evidence. You need an explanation for the authority of the Church in the transmission of the faith before there was a written NT.

I am convinced there is an explanation. Tagline.
