Tradition in the Bible:

 

John, chapter 21

 

 

Conclusion. 24It is this disciple who testifies to these things and has written them,* and we know that his testimony is true.n 25There are also many other things that Jesus did, but if these were to be described individually, I do not think the whole world would contain the books that would be written.o

 

 

 

­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­

3 John, chapter 1

 

 

13I have much to write to you, but I do not wish to write with pen and ink.h 14Instead, I hope to see you soon, when we can talk face to face. 15Peace be with you. The friends greet you; greet the friends* there each by name.i

Wow!! That really doesn’t make much of an argument against Sola Scriptura. If that’s all you have, I’d rethink my position.

THIS IS NOT TRADITION!!!!! It's the catholic carte blanche card!! The Bible can now mean anything we want because Jesus could. might possibly, maybe, we think, have said it!

John is noting that Jesus did other things not recorded in the Bible. That's not a big duh I don't think.

this is a perfect example of catholics taking Scripture out of context to make it mean what they want it to mean.

Those verses merely refer to tradition.

It does not tell us what those traditions are.

What are those traditions of which he speaks?

How do you know they are his and how do you know they have been passed down faithfully?

How do you know that someone didn’t make them up along the way and claim they came from Paul? A very real possibility considering the work of the enemy in trying to draw people away from the truth.
