Just the Basics - Holy Tradition/Sola Scriptura

[Root of Jesse]

I revealed what Catholic Tradition is... from verbatim, Catholic sources, you denied not a single word of it - suggesting you agree.


I revealed what Protestant Tradition is...




.

Except you took it out of context. Because we believe it all comes from God, so God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) are definitely accountable to God.

But that first source, I've never been able to find anywhere to check it out. I asked you for a source, you never provided it. So far, as far as I know, it's not a Catholic source.

At that point in my post I was just listing the different views Christians are known to take when it comes to discerning God's revelation to us. Personally, I trust the Bible.

And who wrote the Bible? I mean you trust the person(s) who wrote the Bible. Who are/is they/he(she)?

You agree with me that some Christians trust the Community. I would hope that they couple that trust with the assumption that God has spoken through the Community, although that trust doesn't prove that He has.

So it is an empty trust...So what does prove He has? What is the criteria?

Now you're back to a personal theory, not history or scripture. So while I recognize it I cannot agree with it.

It simply we have too many references in the Bible to think otherwise. Unless one distorts the sentences of Jesus Christ, like the 3 times Jesus Christ demands to Peter to shepherd His sheep.
An History is overwhelming. It was impossible to maintain 2000 years of Papacy on the belief of the resurrection of a crucified carpenter if this carpenter would not be somebody Else. No human Institution surpassed papacy in length of time and coherence despite thousands of troubles, sins, problems, scandals. Papacy cannot be human only.

I think this is not my view only.
Millions of People thinks like me.
Not like me: I learnt it from mu ancestors.

Therefore, fear not death. For that which is from me, that is the soul, departs for heaven. That which is from the earth, that is the body, departs for the earth from which it was taken.” (The Greek Apocalypse of Ezra 6:26 & 7:1-4)

Dear Clearly,
Since you are quoting the Apocalypse of Ezra as a helpful text, I think that it's worth considering what period it was written in. Certainly it makes a difference whether it was written in the 2nd century when people who knew the apostles were still around or in the 7th century long afterwards.

I made a thread about the Apocalypse of Ezra's dating, in case you and others are interested:
When do you think the Apocalypse of Ezra was written?
