it needs something else to supplement it; i.e., the spoken or historically recorded word which we call Tradition.
Does the New Testament expressly refer to Christ's "unwritten word"? The New Testament itself teaches that it does not contain all that Our Lord did or, consequently, all that He taught.
John 20-30: And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book, etc.
John 21-25: And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written everyone, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written Amen.

It seems by the answers none of you believe in the bible just in your own selected scriptures and where does the bible say you can do this

Bible is not just incomplete but also corrupt with wrong translation, new additions and pauline menipulation. Actually humanity required a new fresh message from God which was required to be complete and totally protected.That is Holy Quran

I guess the people did the best they could in getting things written down.....they were under heavy persecution at the time and so did not have the conveniences we have today to record and make documents.
We will just have to just go by what we do know.....after 2000 years, it will not be possible to come up with a tradition that can fill in the gaps.

I would have accepted the tradtions, had the church not gone through apostasy.
My gripe agains Catholics is, they want to avoid this part. They dont want to admit that the church went through apostasy. And they accept all the pagan infiltration, and call it tradition.
