I WHOLE lot of folks don't believe ANYthing unless it's written in the Bible.
Catholics believe in "Apostolic Tradition," which ISN'T written in the Bible, i.e. St. Peter was crucified also...but he requested to be crucified upside down as he believed that he didn't deserve to die the was Jesus did.
So, APOSTOLIC TRADITION had St. Peter being crucified upside down. Protestants often don't believe it because it isn't written in the Bible.
SOMEtimes, things are just historical, even with the Apostles.

If anyone wants another example, I have one.

*apostolic tradition* is not God breathed, Holy spirit inspired TRUTH.

Believe tradition at your own risk.

You mean like the Assumption? SOME things are just not historical, even though Rome makes them so.

I WHOLE lot of folks will believe ANYthing unwritten in the Bible; as long as Rome affirms that it is true.
