Now I praise you because you remember me in everything and hold firmly to the traditions, just as I delivered them to you. 1 Corinthians 11:2. Paul delivered these traditions (the gospel) on his second missionary journey in Acts 18:1. This was before any books of the Bible were written so it must refer exclusively to oral tradition. "So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word of mouth or by letter from us." 2 Thessalonians 2:15. Both oral and scripture are called traditions.

| 32: | The Apostolic Fathers believed man-made creeds were tradition ... The "Rule of faith" (creeds) of the early church was the scripture itself. By 180 AD, oral and written creeds began to come into general use. It is important to note, that these creeds were based 100% on scripture, and 0% on oral tradition. For Roman Catholic and Orthodox defenders to refer to these creeds as proof of an oral tradition in the early church, is as unscholarly as it is deluded. Between 180 - 325 AD, there were many different versions of creeds and none universally accepted. In 325 AD, the Nicene Creed became the first creed that was considered universal law and equal to the Bible. Indeed, the authors of the Nicene creed stated that every clause and phrase was based directly upon scripture. As time went on, more creeds and canons were produced, but they became less dependant upon scripture. Today, every major denomination has followed the error of creedalism, each claiming their creed teaches exactly what the Bible says. The solution is to do away with all creeds including ... ... ...https://www.bible.ca/sola-scriptura-tradition-5-types-4-creeds.htm | Size: 31K Depth: 3 Find Similar Match Info Show Parents |

"I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, And I find knowledge and discretion." Prov 8:12 Clark Carlton, and Orthodox defender, highlights that many of the recorded "church fathers" had initially interpreted the wrong view of Prov 8:22. This illustrates how the wrong view of Proverbs 8:22f was adopted and later used against those who invented it to prove Jesus was a creature. Clark Carlton explains how Justin's wrong view was used against the church: "Arius was a presbyter of the Church of Alexandria in the early fourth century.

"Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from every brother who leads an unruly life and not according to the tradition which you received from us." 2 Thessalonians 3:6. This verse likely includes both oral and scripture tradition as a summary of 2 Thess 2:15. All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work." 2 Timothy 3:16-17 "I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries among my countrymen, being more extremely zealous for my ancestral traditions."

Click to View Top ten list of why the Roman Catholic and Orthodox take the wrong view of tradition B. The Catholic and Orthodox view of tradition: "Tradition is the mother of the Bible." (priest) When Roman Catholic and Orthodox defenders attach sola Scriptura, they appeal to references to tradition in both scripture and the writings of the Church Fathers. They use these references to justify the introduction of extra-biblical doctrines which they say should not be rejected because they were taught orally by the apostles themselves. Every time they see the word "tradition" they think it destroys the truth of sola Scriptura. There are a number of serious problems with this view. Scripture is also called tradition in the Bible and by the Church Fathers. Even the "Rule of Faith" Creeds were all based directly on scripture phrase by phrase, and never "oral tradition".

| 40: | The Apostolic Fathers believed in expedient, optional tradition ... God did not require washing of hands. It was a human origin custom. It was man made doctrine. Jesus knew it was an optional man made law that was being bound upon him. It is interesting that Jesus did not condemn washing of hands as an expedient tradition, he did condemn the binding of the tradition upon others. This is the mistake that too many churches make today by binding their traditions as laws that must be followed. The Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches are some of the worst offenders in this regard. D. Challenge to the Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches: We would love it if Roman Catholic and Orthodox apologists would actually draft a list of doctrines that they believe which are not found anywhere in scripture but only in the inspired oral tradition of the Apostles and prophets of the first century. Of course, they want it both ways. First they trash the Bible saying it is not a complete guide to doctrine and that we need the "oral tradition of the church".
