Rome NEXT time you post somehting that stupid make sure that it backs your Position not Aieno's.
"But, again, when we refer them to that tradition which originates from the apostles, [and] which is preserved by means of the successions of presbyters in the Churches, they object to tradition, saying they themselves are wiser..." (Irenaeus, Against Heresies 3,2:2).
What Tradition did the Apostoles give us and in what FORM?
"His testimony, therefore, is true, and the doctrine of the apostles is open and steadfast, holding nothing in reserve; nor did they teach one set of doctrines in private, and another in public" (Against Heresies 3,15:1).
:roll:
"[The Apostles] next went forth into the world and preached the same doctrine of the same faith to the nations. They then in like manner rounded churches in every city, from which all the other churches, one after another, derived the tradition of the faith, and the seeds of doctrine, and are every day deriving them, that they may become churches. Indeed, it is on this account only that they will be able to deem themselves apostolic, as being the offspring of apostolic churches. Every sort of thing must necessarily revert to its original for its classification. Therefore the churches, although they are so many and so great, comprise but the one primitive church, (founded) by the apostles, from which they all (spring). In this way all are primitive, and all are apostolic, whilst they are all proved to be one, in (unbroken) unity, by their peaceful communion and title of brotherhood, and bond of hospitality, — privileges which no other rule directs than the one tradition of the selfsame mystery" (Tertullian, On Prescription Against the Heretics 20).
What Tradition were we thought? Was it oral Tradition? Or was it dervided from what the Apostoles wrote in Scripture?
St Irenaeus was A member of the Roman Catholic church.
Your sick in the head, You are a Heretic and an Apostate.
Aieno your understanding that the Fathers appealed to Scripture alone is simply a fantasy you continue to live in.
How dare you insult Aieno, YOU POST contradictions all the time; not only that but your drool really is starting to get Tiresome.
I challenge you Rome Show me proof were we derive our Faith from Oral Tradition rather then Scripture.
