You've just proved you don't bother reading what I post. I've been saying that all along! What you don't seem to be able to get your head around is that what God intended for us to KNOW is contained in the sacred Scripture HE ensured would be written. How else could anyone know what happened to Abraham or Adam and Eve or all the other people and events that coalesce into the whole rule of our faith? How did anyone know what transpired between Jesus and the devil after Jesus' 40 day fast in the desert? How else did they know what Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane the night he was betrayed? How else the specific words the angels announced to the shepherds the night Christ was born? All these things were because the Holy Spirit TOLD the writers of Scripture TO write them down so that we here, two thousand years later, can be as sure of the truth as they were that first century. No one is rejecting all traditions, just that no tradition is above the Scripture and anything that is deemed necessary to be believed, MUST be validated BY God's word - the Bible.
I can also trace my faith straight back to Jesus. Roman Catholicism teaches, as mandatory to salvation, things that cannot be traced straight back to Jesus nor to the early church established by the Apostles. Everything I believe I CAN show you in Scripture. It is based on what the word of God says.
