Then give me chapter and verse where following the Word of God is wrong. 2 Tim. 3:16,17 "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works." That sounds pretty bulletproof to me.
NO! Because I do not think that Scripture you have quoted is wrong. It is 100% right!
It says "ALL" Scripture is given by inspiration. But (contrary to what you seem to think) it doesn't say "ONLY" Scripture is given by inspiration.
It does not say "Scriptura Sola."
If ONLY Scripture was given by inspiration, there would have been NO CHURCH between AD 33 and AD 90 or 100, when the last book of the NT was written.
The first book of the NT (First Thessalonians) wasn't written until 50-53 AD. *Was* there a Gospel before 50-53 AD? Of course there was. Not a written one, but one transmitted by preaching and by example (practice).
When people are told in the Epistles to cling to the "Gospel," there was no written Gospel text. They are clinging to Oral Tradition. Keep in mind that that time and for at least a decade later, there was not even one Gospel in writing. Not one!
1 Thessalonians 1:5
"...our gospel was not given to you in word only, but also in virtue, and in the Holy Ghost, and with much certainty, since you knew what kind of people we were, when we were among you."
1 Thess. 2:2
After we had suffered and been insolently treated, as you know, in Philippi, we drew courage through our God to speak to you the gospel of God with much struggle.
1 Thess. 2:4
But as we were judged worthy by God to be entrusted with the gospel that is how we speak, not as trying to please human beings, but rather God, who judges our hearts.
1 Thess. 2:8-9
With such affection for you, we were determined to share with you not only the gospel of God, but our very selves as well, so dearly beloved had you become to us. You recall, brothers, our toil and drudgery. Working night and day in order not to burden any of you, we proclaimed to you the gospel of God.
In each and every instance here --- and in most other places in the Epistles--- the Apostle is not talking about a written Gospel. but in a Gospel as preached and practiced. In other words, the Gospel by Oral Tradition --- equally as authoritative as the later written Gospel.
