And our source of information on what Jesus said and did comes primarily from what? The four accepted gospels, Mark, Luke, Matthew, and John.

“And our source of information on what Jesus said and did comes primarily from what?”

I understand what you’re saying, but what you said earlier is incorrect. You said, “If what is written in the Scriptures is not the source of our Faith then what is?” The simple fact is, if we claim to have the same faith as the Apostles, then the source is Jesus for He taught the Apostles years before the Gospels were written. The Apostles, equipped directly by Christ and the gifts and guidance of the Holy Spirit, were able to teach men everything they needed to know and do to be saved and they did so even when not a single book of the New Testament was yet written.

“The four accepted gospels, Mark, Luke, Matthew, and John.”

And where in scripture does it say that those four books are “accepted gospels”? Hint: It doesn’t. Scripture says little to nothing about what books are inspired scripture, “accepted gospels”, etc. No where in the Gospel of Matthew - or anywhere in the New Testament - does it even say that the Gospel of Matthew was written by Matthew.
