I only believe what I read in Scripture.
WOW!!you wouldn't have believed anything for the first 300 or so in church history. The Catholic church took about that much time to compile what we now recognize as the bible. Word of mouth (tradition) is pretty much how the church grew for a long long time. For example, if 300 years is about right for the early church to organize, we would still have another 65 years to get this country organized since 1776. You can thank the Catholic church for protecting and hand copying the bible for all those years. Without the church, you wouldn't have a bible at all.
