Really? Yes. The oral tradition was carried by the early Church fathers. If you have even the foggiest idea of early Church history you would know- as even prominent Lutheran theologians now admit- that the books in the Bible were assembled by infallible Petrine authority and that authority did not disappear eleven centuries later with the Reformation.

That wasn't Christ's Christianity, that was/is Constantine's religion...

Peter the apostle wasn't given any 'Petrine' authority...He had no more authority than any other apostle...The only Peter in Rome at the time was Simon 'Peter' Magus...And he had a LOT of followers...

Bible Christians can swim only in the shallow end of scriptural interpretation, take them over to the deep end and they drown. Hence, the reference to this “Neuhaus fella’

Bible Christians swim around in belief of the scriptures, not the unbelief and private interpretation of the Roman Constantine Church...

So “your” view of theology and historical scholarship trumps that of the early Church fathers, and those of Aquinas, Augustine, Newman, Benedict (whose works form part of the core curriculum of the theological departments in major colleges and universities) and a long list of eminent Protestant scholars of all denominations including learned Jewish Rabbis who have studied this matter and converted to Catholicism?

Bible-Christians swim around the belief of scripture whose books were assembled by infallible Petrine authority in the Synod of Rome in AD 382 and as scripture itself tells us Christ did and said many things that were not written down but became part of the great oral traditions and liturgical rituals and beliefs of the Church. This is why Bible Christians fear to swim into the deep end of the pool of theological inquiry.
