Catholics wouldn't want us to go against what scripture says would they? So could you show where the apostles wrote down what they said was the "tradition" they talked about? Surely if they said not to go beyond what was written they would have provided written proof of what they calle "tradition" right?

1 Corinthians 4:6 Now, brothers and sisters, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying, "Do not go beyond what is written." Then you will not be puffed up in being a follower of one of us over against the other.

I figured 1 Cor 4:6 would come up, eventually. All right... let's try a logic challenge, and see if logic wins out over emotionalism and hysterical enthusiasms...

When St. Paul says "not to go beyond what is written":

1) To whom is he writing, and on what audience is this idea (of not going beyond what is written) binding? I was under the impression that he was talking to the Corinthians... yes? So: where in Scripture does it say that this applies to believers in the 21st century, in another continent?

2) What is the exact content of what St. Paul means by "what is written"? The word is in the present tense ("IS written"), so you'd have to prove that this dictum applies to what WILL BE written AFTER St. Paul writed 2 Corinthians (e.g. the Gospel of John, the three Epistles of John, and the Book of Revelation, among possible others). Also, does "what is written" refer to all of Sacred Scripture, or just 1 Corinthians, or something else entirely? Where does the Bible specify this? (I'm happy to tell you that the Catechism is, in fact, written... so I should be safe, even by your standards! :) )
