If you were any kind of a bible student, you would know better than that...The concept of scripture alone is all over the bible...
Where?
I have just given you an example from the bible, which directly contradicts that unless you believe that EVERY word from the mouth of God is in the bible. It doesn't say, 'but by every word that comes from the mouth of God that was written down.'
You didn't answer the question. Do you believe that every word God has spoken is written in the bible? And how did early Christians know what to believe before the New Testament was written?
Love,

I'll answer: No.
Now that's out of the way; will you answer the question of just what it is, that Catholicism provides, that we prots MUST have to enter Heaven?
(I'm hoping the answer is YES.)
Why would I or anyone believe that??? However, every word that God spoke that we needed to know pertaining to doctrine and our salvation is written in the bible...
And how did early Christians know what to believe before the New Testament was written?
Because they followed and listened to the preachers who provided physical signs to them, the Jews...
Mat_10:1 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.
Luk_10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Act_6:8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.
Rom 15:18 For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,
Rom 15:19 Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
1Co_2:4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
Now you know...
Deuteronomy 8:3 ...not in bread alone doth man live, but in every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God.
I have just given you an example from the bible, which directly contradicts that unless you believe that EVERY word from the mouth of God is in the bible.
Every word that proceeded out of the mouth of God that he wanted us to have, is in the bible...
