BTW These Doctors of the Church there are 33 In 2000 years. They Have 3 Requirements as “Doctors of the Catholic Church”:
1) holiness that is truly outstanding, even among saints;
2) depth of doctrinal insight; and
3) an extensive body of writings which the church can recommend as an expression of the authentic and life-giving Catholic Tradition.
But Sola Scriptura..... No Tradition Allowed...
The Catholic Church had a foundation in Holy Tradition long before the Bibble was recorded (even the Old Testament.)
Tradition for Catholics — isn’t rituals, it’s the oral passing down of the Word of God as recorded in the Bible. It has been a part of the Catholic Church and will remain a part of the Catholic Church forever.
>> “This illumination is not limited to church councils.” <<
.
No, it is limited to individuals.
Only individuals can have a relationship with God. The Holy Spirit is sent to the individual believers, not to any ‘council.’
Christianity is strictly a one on one experience between the believer and their Lord; there is no provision for anything in between given in the word of God.

The kids are all over this thread with their simplistic retorts, can we have a new thread for adults?
Arguing with childish minds is like trying to clean a mirror with a muddy rag.
Of what value is a list of links to well known catholic error?
The catholic church is darkness defined; it leads to the second death.
They can not even understand this very simple truth... darkness is so overwhelming
That's about the best explanation for the ridiculous notion that we must depend on someone else to explain God's Word to us that I've ever had the pleasure to read! Thanks for using the absurd to show how absurd it truly is!!
Nice... gotta remember that...
:D

Actually, you don't. There is nothing in scripture that supports popery, Mass, purgatory, et. al. The Magicsterium* says that they exist, so "tradition" supports their existence, and the mass of Roman Catholics drink up the bilge as if it's true.
And fallible men, just as you accuse here, are the authors of it. Not scripture.

Have you not read that RnMomof7 is not the author of the piece? Care to argue your points with the author?
If others happen to agree that’s one thing. But your post seems to ascribe the authorship to RM7.

Well, e-s, that's about the only thing you're gonna find here responding to fact. It's sad...but true.

Let me get this straight -- The Roman Catholic church EXISTED in the time of Abraham and Moses (as this scripture was written down by men inspired by God) and served as "tradition"?
That is indeed laughable. Are you sure you want to stand by that statement? Or maybe you misstated it (I hope).
Regardless, this is one for the books and that's a fact.
Hoss
Suitable for framing! :o)
Amazing, no?

John 21: (We'll be using the KJV today, kids, to keep things on even footing):
"And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen."
The Bible Itself declares that it doesn't contain everything.
You need to read some more Scripture. The New Covenant fulfills the Old Covenant. The New Testament fulfills the Old Testament.
Quiz for today —
How many Gospel writers quote the Old Covenant and the Old Testament?
LOL!
I just realized how funny the title is.
It is written in presnet tense.
Tradition is the Word of God that was handed down from person to person in ancient times until it was written down in the Bible.
Tradition is not a “present tense” thing.
It’s been here a long time. (And you can thank the Catholic Church for preserving it.)
No... If you READ the verse you quoted, you'd find that the subject is Jesus and the things he did. How does this verse exegetically support "tradition?"
Clue=it doesn't
can you not see the difference
