Roman Catholicism??

Question

why is it that many people believe only the written scripture and ignores the oral tradition of the Church when in fact the written scripture was originaly an oral tradition of Church that was put into text.

Jesus never says anything about His Word being entirely committed to a book. In fact, Jesus never even commanded any of His apostles to write anything down.
We should follow both the Bible and the Oral Traditions of the Church.
2 Thessalonians 2:15
"So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter."

Answer 1

Yes you are correct, before the Gospels the early church lived by oral traditon and this was paramount in their lives so we cannot just devalue the traditon of the church but give importance to it as well as the scriptures.

Answer 2

The Protestant Churches teach Scripture, with no traditions added to it.
The Bible teaches that Scripture alone is the supreme and infallible authority for the church and the individual believer. This is not to say that creeds and tradition are unimportant, but the Bible alone is our final authority. Creeds and tradition are man made.
Jesus said, "Scripture cannot be broken" (John 10:35). He said "I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished" (Matthew 5:18). He said, "It is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the least stroke of a pen to drop out of the law" (Luke 16:17).
Jesus used Scripture as the final court of appeal in every matter under dispute. He said to some Pharisees, "You nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down" (Mark 7:13). To the Sadducee's He said, "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God". (Mat 22:29). To the devil, Jesus consistently responded, "It is written..." (Mat 4:4-10). So following Jesus' lead, the Scriptures alone are our supreme and final authority.
The Protestants broke from the Catholic church because they did not agree with the traditions that were being held as the authority, rather than God's word the Bible.

Answer 3

i believe being a catholic a blessing because the catholic church teaches the gospel's of the disciple of JESUS CHRIST and it teaches the good works of the saint may protestant attack the church maybe it is cause by jealousy or etc. but those people who attack the church do not know what is in the teaching of the church the catholic church is the largest branch of Christianity it composed of 1.3 billion people around the world if it was a bad religion there should only be a few followers, but the catholic church has many followers therefore the catholic religion is a best religion..............

Answer 4

Because there are no reliable oral traditions these days. How many people do you know who remember the oral traditions of Jesus? Scholars can't even agree on the authenticity of the written stuff.

Answer 5

youre right!

when we read 1 Timothy 3:15, we will see that the Church (not the scripture) is the pillar and foundation of truth.

the scripture alone disproves sola scriptura.
GodBless!

Answer 6

Of course, you are totally right, but also remember the need to interpret authentically the Bible.

Blessed be Jesus, true God and true man.
