I am always grateful for NYer’s posts though usually I have no comment to make. I wish I had his posting energy.

But the author here must think we're not going to notice the difference twixt a house fly and a house flying, to wit:

If there is a body of “oral Tradition” that stands with equal authority and has come down to us from Christ and/or the spirit inspired apostles, where may I find it?

Is it in full agreement with written Scripture?

Is knowing and believing and following this “oral Tradition” necessary to my perfecting as a Christian?

Do the written Scriptures contain enough information, enough “truth” though a gist of Christ's and the apostles’ teachings, to allow us to become “sanctified”, made holy for use by God? (John 17)
Or must we have some part of “oral Tradition” in addition?

I don't see these as really difficult questions.
