In fact, Paul scriptural words indicate that his oral teachings were in fact necessary for the Christians he was writing to.

But where do I find Paul's oral teachings?

Ahhhhhh - you are asking the right question.

They have been passed on through the centuries, and are known as "Tradition".

Jesus Christ founded a living Church - not a bible.
The concept of a New Testament was an afterthought (a divinely inspired one) of the early Christians and cannot be shown scripturally to be the only font of Truth.

In fact, "the pillar and foundation of truth" is the Church(1 Tim. 3:15) - not Scripture (unless you reduce the Church to Scripture).

Where you find the teachings of the other apostles and church fathers, in the teachings of the Catholic Church.
