I said oral tradition is a lame Catholic tenet. Every tradition is preserved through writing.
Though, NOT all of it is preserved in Scripture.

SOME of it is preserved in authoritative Church documents . . .

Too bad so many more have chosen to stay in Rome
I think it's even more tragic that so many believe in the falsehoods and fairy tales about the Catholic church instead of the truth . . .

I can tell right away that this isn’t true.

If you were educated AND ordained – you would know better than to refer to it as the
“RCC”.

Once again – if you had actually been educated in the Catholic faith – AND ordained into the clergy – you would KNOW that this question is a moot point to a Catholic.
Your answer is correct but only about yourself and that is not good my freind

The GOOD NEWS is that you can run to JESUS and cast the Vatican and this world behind you!!!

many run to and embrace that which is of the f lesh .
But not so with the sheep of HIS pasture .
They follow The Great and mighty , the Worthy and worthy of all praise , KING JESUS .
Who said
I AM the WAY , THE TRUTH and THE LIFE and no man cometh unto the Father but by Me .
And the sheep know , and know by grace , something that many in wool whose lips draw nigh but hearts are far away from GOD do not know , ,
that HE said MY WORDS
He made mention about HIS WORDS .
MY WORDS ARE SPIRIT and THEY ARE LIFE .
And he who cometh to me and DOES NOT what i say , is a like a man
that set his house upon sand ...........................OH that HOUSE IS GOING DOWN , IT HAS NO FOUNDATION at all .

You mean that Rome likes runaway immigration. Just remember we are a nation of immigrants, and immigration is good for black people. The US Catholic Bishops told me so.

I'll never leave Hiss Church,
Jesus
said of His Church:

Luke 10:16

Whoever listens to YOU listens to ME. Whoever rejects YOU rejects ME. And whoever rejects ME rejects the ONE who sent ME."


The Bible tells us that -
- Jesus is Truth itself (John 14:6).
- The Church is the Pillar and Foundation of Truth (1 Tim. 3:15).
- Jesus identifies His very SELF with His Church (Acts 9:4-5).
- Jesus promised His Church that the Holy Spirit would guide it to ALL Truth (John 16:12-15).
- Jesus told the leaders of His Church that WHATEVER they bound or loosed on earth would ALSO be bound and loosed in Heaven (Matt. 16:18-19, Matt. 18:15-18, John 20:21-23).

I'll stay where I am . . .

But those documents are either forgeries, or different canon. For example, the Proto-Gospel of James.
Interesting that you would make this claim . . .

The Canon of the New Testament is believed by ALL Christians, yet it s a TRADITION of the Catholic Church. Time for a History Lesson . . .

The Synod of Rome (382) is where the canon was first formally identified – ALL 73 (not 66) Books.
- 11 years after that, it was confirmed at the Synod of Hippo (393).
- 4 years later, at the Council (or Synod) of Carthage (397), it was yet again confirmed. The bishops wrote at the end of their document, "But let Church beyond sea (Rome) be consulted about confirming this canon". There were 44 bishops, including St. Augustine who signed the document.
- 7 years later, in 405, in a letter from Pope Innocent I to Exsuperius, Bishop of Toulouse, he reiterated the canon.
- 14 years after that, at the 2nd Council (Synod) of Carthage (419) the canon was again formally confirmed.

The Canon of Scripture was officially closed at the Council of Trent in the 16th century because of the perversions happening within Protestantism and the random editing and deleting of books from the Canon.

While we’re at it – WHERE are the following PROTESTANT traditions taught in Scripture??
Sola Scriptura?
OSAS?
Infant Dedications?

Denominations?

Oral tradition does not work. It doesn't exist. Even the Talmud is written.
Nonsense.

Then, why did Jesus and the Apostles practice Oral Tradition?

Matt. 2:23
- the prophecy "He shall be a Nazarene" is ORAL TRADITION. It is not found in the Old Testament. This demonstrates that the apostles relied upon oral tradition and taught by oral tradition.

Matt 23:2 - Jesus relies on the ORAL TRADITION of acknowledging Moses' seat of authority (which passed from Moses to Joshua to the Sanhedrin). This is not recorded in the Old Testament.

1 Cor. 10:4 - Paul relies on the ORAL TRADITION of the rock following Moses. It is not recorded in the Old Testament. See Exod. 17:1-17 and Num. 20:2-13.

2 Timothy 3:8 - Paul relies on the ORAL TRADITION when speaking of Pharoah’s magicians, Jannes and Jambres. Their names are not recorded in the Old Testament.

Jude 9 - Jude relies on the ORAL TRADITION of the Archangel Michael's dispute with satan over Moses' body. This is not found in the Old Testament.

Jude 14-15 - Jude relies on the ORAL TRADITION of Enoch's prophecy which is not recorded in the Old Testament.

Why was it mandated by Paul to be as binding on the believer as
Scripture (2 Thess. 2:15)?
Yes, but Almah does not Betula. Again, carest thou to explain how this helps again?
Isaiah 7:14
Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin (עלמה, al-mah’), will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.


You need to take the whole context into consideration. Unless you’re dead from the neck up – what “sign” is there is a non-virgin having a child the normal way?? That has happed billions of times.

The sign was that a VIRGIN conceived.

KEEP in your mind when we interact that i was fully raised, educated, ordained and PRACTICED in faith as a RCC member

Instead of bantering back and forth

What is more important to you?

If you had to choose between the Scriptures and the Vatican =
which one do you embrace?
which one do you subjugate?
Beware for many think and beleive they have eaten of the pan de vida
but have rather eaten of pan de muerte .
A harlots love is no love the sheep will embrace my friend .

Una inglesia de la reigna de muerte y mintidas
Is NO Church the sheep sit under .
And believe me when i say
La madre de mintidas y muerte
takes no time off to deceive . The sheep sit not under that harlot nor sip of her cup of fornication .
La madre de mintidas ye muerte tiene un padre , padre de mintidas , el diablo
and together they work as one with their love child of that which is of anti christ .
Hold not thy breath , nor wait o world for an apology from these lips .
She is deadly dangerous to any and all who do enter into her chambers
and my how she has made broad the path by her ecumeincal cup of whoredome .

The commandment of the 7th Day is ONLY kept in the LORD of the Sabbath
So according to you, (as it isn't actually taught anywhere in Scripture) that it is okay to disobey a commandment. Your interpretation of Scripture overrides the Scripture itself. Everyone understands that it is good and right to rest in Christ. That is another commandment. Many scriptures attest to that. What no Scripture attests to is that resting in Christ replaces the observation of the holiness of the day.

I've been warning people about this since 2016.
The moment one buys into the lets get along and find common ground
is the momemnt their fall begins . KEEP that in mind .
Cause the well favored Ho has many co workers my friend .
And there is no denomination known to man that she has not infiltrated .
As in NO denomination . Though not everyone is under her influence .
Key leaders are . yes , she has infiltrators the world wide my friend .
Remember that .
