They are indeed biblical and apostolic. The apostle Paul exhorts us in 2 Thessalonians 2:15If they are not Biblical then they are the traditions of man, and didd not come through the apostles.

to hold fast to the traditions we were taught either by word or epistle.
I know that what you might call 'biblical traditions' are in fact modern interpretations of Scripture by men who will all claim they were guided by the Holy Spirit, yourself notwithstanding. How you determine that the tradition you follow it more or less true than the tradition which was passed down in the early Church? They were taught by the Apostles the meaning of what they wrote and handed that understanding down from each generation to the next. What makes you think you have a better understanding than them? They also had the Holy Spirit.Biblical traditions, not the traditions of man....do you know the difference? The Apostles teachings do not differ from the Bible.
Right back at you bro.What you are saying is not Biblical but your own erroneous opinion.

Gotta love such such carefully reasoned and articulated responses. It really raises the bar in these discussions.
Bearing false witness is right up there with murder and committing adultery. I advise you to retract as I have not implied nor do I believe any such thing.yet you somehow feel Paul contradicts Jesus words on this subject.
There is no such thing as reading the Bible without interpreting it.What you got to do is rely on the Bible, and not so much on your personal opinion, or personal interpretations of what you think it says

That would be a good thing to tell the pope.There is no such thing as reading the Bible without interpreting it.
The Pope already knows. This is what the Church is for, to help interpret for us.
If you were correct, the Church would supply a list of interpretations of each verse,but it does not.The Catholic Church does not exist to help its members in their interpretation of Scripture. It exists to interpret Scripture for its members.

Very sound ministry, bbbbbbbb! No man should threaten one with eternal condemnation for going against their religious ideas, as the RC religion has been doing for years. The true saints of God ("born again" believers as John 3) have Holy Scripture and the Holy Spirit to teach us, and we need not some high authority of man to dictate to us. One should note 1 Peter 2 to see the saints (all sanctified believers) are a "Holy" and "royal priesthood".
Well, I think this site has long since deviated from the original post.
Even Protestants admit it was this way before the canon of the NT was formed. What did Peter preach on Pentecost if not the Oral Teachings?Catholic Church's teaching authority rests not in the Bible alone, as in Protestantism, but in Holy Tradition, of which the Bible forms a part, albeit a significant part.

And gave the New Testament interpretation of those prophecies, which were not yet recorded anywhere. None of the Gospels had been written and no Epistles had been written. The receiving of the Gospel was purely oral tradition at this stage and would be for many years to come.Peter assuredly did not proclaim "Oral Tradition" unless you happen to believe that the Bible (i.e. the Old Testament) is not the written Word of God. Peter quoted directly from the Psalms and the Prophets.
Where did Peter get the idea that those OT passages applied to Christ? There is nothing in those passages that mentions Jesus. Peter was TAUGHT these things by CHRIST. He is passing on those teachings.Peter assuredly did not proclaim "Oral Tradition" unless you happen to believe that the Bible (i.e. the Old Testament) is not the written Word of God. Peter quoted directly from the Psalms and the Prophets.
