Just what are those traditions Paul was referring to that he handed down that we are to keep that were not included in Scripture? How do you know? How do you know they’re from the apostles, Paul in particular? How do you know they’ve been passed down faithfully? What is your source for verifying all of the above? Please provide the sources for verification purposes.

If we knew we wouldn't call it Faith would we? Do your own book report.

A non-answer if ever there was one.

IOW, you can’t answer it.

There is no way of knowing or verifying.

You could be believing in something that is totally fabricated, IOW, believing a lie. Where is that going to get you?

If you’re going to trust in hearsay, you are on very shaky ground.

I’m not making the claim that I’m depending on oral tradition.

It’s not up to me to research something I don’t believe in to either prove it or disprove it.

If you make the claim, you need to back it up.

If the oral tradition is handed down from the apostles faithfully, prove it.
