It is only when we embrace Scripture and Sacred Tradition that we have the complete Word of God. And as Jesus once said, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God" (Matthew 4:4).

“...and Sacred Tradition that we have the complete Word of God.”

Sorry Salvation, but you are wrong in this post.

There are no Traditions necessary to salvation or to complete the Word of God. Nor for maturity.

And as Jesus once said, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God" (Matthew 4:4).

That precludes *sacred tradition*. Just because someone claims to speak for God does not mean they do. Lots of people make that claim but unless and until the beliefs line up with the clear teaching of Scripture, they should be and need to be rejected.

So we're back to the Bible, the word of God, as being the sole authority.

You just shot yourself in the foot with that post.
